A dish full of hearty fresh veggie goodness that we whipped up after a gloriously expensively outing to a Swiss farmer's market. Don't miss the 'spice it up' comments from my Pastastic Facebook followers at the end of the page! 
This is the second sun-dried tomato pesto recipe to hit my site and it's by far the most unique version (the other is creamily delish though, so do try that too). Why does this recipe work so well? It's just such an interesting taste - toms, basil, plus rosemary and macadamia nuts. Just fling it all in your food processor, whiz and devour. Buono! 
If you have received Pastastic for any length of time, you probably know that I'm a huge fan of the Imperia pasta machine, which I use at home regularly. This month however the kind folks at Marcato supplied me with my machine's main competitor - the Atlas 150 - so I could compare and contrast the two. And you know what? I can't choose between them. This Marcato is a beauty! Reader Pages

Site of the MonthAnd finally... some blatant self-promotion ;-) I recently read the fantastic book A Year in Provence by British author Peter Mayle, which is a heart-warming chronicle of his experiences living in deepest rural France. This inspired me to create a little blog about where we live in French-speaking Switzerland.  While I certainly cannot claim it is Mayle-standard stuff, if you're into all things European you might, I hope, find my musings of interest. The blog is called Going Neutral.
