Spinach Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Earlier on in the week, when I made the spinach, or spanakopita pesto pasta I made sure to keep some of the pesto left over for something new.

Spinach Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I had come across the idea of using a pesto in a grilled cheese sandwich and it was the perfect time to try one. I have been experimenting with grilled cheese sandwiches for a while now. It all started when I first tried adding some jam to one then I moved on to chutneys and now it was time to try a pesto grilled cheese sandwich.

Since the spinach pesto had some Greek flavours going on I decided to use a Greek cheese, graviera, in the sandwich. The spinach pesto sandwich with graviera was amazing!

Pasta ai Quattro Formaggi

It was my favorite pasta dish from my favorite restaurant in all of Los Angeles: Intermezzo in West Hollywood. Intermezzo was where my friends and I would go when we felt as though we’d earned a nice dinner out after studying for a whole hour or so…and it’s where we’d have our parents take us to dinner when they’d come visit us at school. Intermezzo was a dreamy, wonderful place with an outdoor covered patio peppered with trees and tiny white lights.

But it was the pasta—not the atmosphere—that I’ll remember the rest of my life. I dream about the pasta at Intermezzo regularly. The dish I ordered with the most frequency was angel hair with four cheeses. Make this for your sweetie on Valentine’s Day. It will light up your life. First, grate up four cheeses. Get it? But any ol’ cheese will do. Except perhaps Cheez Whiz. Promise me you’ll use the cream. Food - Recipes : Asparagus risotto. Pad thai recipe.

Even if you don’t celebrate the Fourth of July (let’s say, because you are British) I hope the weekend treated you well. even the yard had red (paintbrush), white (yarrow), and blue (blue flax) We hiked in the mountains, got a little work done, ran a few errands, ate some great food, and saw brilliant, spectacular, thrilling fireworks!

Boom! You can see more of the fireworks photographs on my photo blog. So I am finally posting about a recipe that took me years to tackle. Rice noodles soaking in water salted turnip.
