The California Table

California Cuisine with a Coastal Vibe

July 9, 2010

You say pesto, I say pistou

Is it just me, or does everything sound better in French? My favorite magazine, Cooking Light, had Penne with Zucchini Pistou in this month’s issue, and with a few tweaks, it’s what’s for dinner tonight.

I already know this dish rocks; my friend Shannon made it for me last week. Tonight I’m trying it with a few tweaks (of course) – sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts, plus a little wild arugula to add a hint of heartiness to the dish.

I haven’t cooked with zucchini before – here’s to trying something new.
