Home-grown.

I came home this afternoon with a serious case of the can't-be-bothereds and was quite tempted to suggest Vegemite on toast (since it's Australia Day) for dinner. But my mind wandered to the zucchini we've got in the garden which are rapidly turning into marrows and I felt a bit guilty for neglecting the home-grown vegies so I came up with this:

Shave the zucchini with a peeler.
Throw fistfuls of basil into the blender with plenty of tomatoes.
Slice leek (yep, they're still going).

Fry the leek in a large pan, add the tomato-pesto mix and the shaved zucchini.
Add cooked pasta, stir through & serve with grated Parmesan cheese.



Aside from the pasta, this was a genuinely home-grown meal & I'm thankful for it. (And it was really quite yummy too, what a bonus!)
