Ever since I spotted a delicious pesto dish on the menu at Naked Cafe at lunch today, I have been craving the sweet basil and pine nut mixture. With little time tonight after yoga to devote to making an elaborate dinner, I decided to wing a creation from the hip, and surprisingly it came out great. This dish was filled with bright green vegetables, sugar snap peas and arugula, tossed against the neutral palette of brown rice and cannellini beans. I used a dry sweet basil mix (on most other days I would have made my own pesto since its relatively simple), and added some sauteed garlic and shallots. The end product hit the exact spot!
