Eva has requested Pesto Pasta. These things are best tossed in a bowl together.

Whole Wheat Rigate – I swore I bought three bags of pasta. When I started cooking, only found two. So two I cooked. The other bag of pasta mysteriously showed up in Lydian’s bed. If you don’t have enough pasta, blame Lydian- however, it seemed be the perfect amount for four rounds.
Garbanzo Beans with Lemon – 2# garbanzo beans, cooked in the pressure cooker. I don’t usually cook garbanzos from scratch, so I followed this method pretty much, but I think they are a little too mushy. Oh well, if you don’t finish them, they’ll make good hummus. There’s a squeeze of lemon on there, too.
Roasted Broccoli and Garlic – 4# of broccoli with a bunch of chopped garlic, tossed c olive oil and salt, roasted @ 425′ for about 25 minutes.
Cherry Tomatoes – just that.
Walnut Pesto – I bought a big container of basil at HEB, but I could’ve used two. I didn’t even think about needing two. The pesto is made with 4 oz container of basil, a handful of walnuts (toasted), about 1/3 cup olive oil, about a tsp salt, and the juice from half a lemon. Hopefully it will be plenty since the broccoli is also seasoned.
