Spaghetti with lamb's lettuce Pesto
If the lettuce keeps on the weekly market, then I don't know the Winter is long and the lettuce is, in my opinion, one of his most delicious sides. My spersönliches Highlight and my absolute favorite salad has always been. With its slightly nutty taste, it tastes insanely delicious as a lettuce Pesto, and matches, among other things, prima Pasta.

It is said that the lettuce by the way, that he can help on one or the other winter spirit, because he belongs botanically to plants, the Valerian, and contains essential Oils. I can't really confirm and I eat in the Winter, tons of lettuce ? . But a good feeling is there anyway. At all, that he was very vitamin and mineral rich . When my dear mom (God rest her soul) has prepared field salad, then she said every Time HOW healthy he is, and that my big brother and I ask a lot of it to eat.
A field lettuce Pesto is not only a very quick and tasty affair, but also a very healthy. I prepare the Pesto without a lot of bells and whistles. There is Oil, pepper, salt, and walnuts, and garlic in addition to the lettuce only. The cheese I don't deal with directly in the field lettuce Pesto, but give him depending on the mood more or less on my Spaghetti. It is, incidentally, need not always be Parmesan cheese, it also blend well Peccorino or a Gruyere cheese very well, or whatever You like.
The choice of Oil, You can also select Your favorites. I take mostly canola oil with olive oil, depending on. But you can also use sunflower oil or a different Oil. The choice of Oil also affects the overall taste of the lettuce Pesto. It is important from my point of view, that it is an Oil of good quality. With the total amount of Oil, You can also vary even, if You the consistency is from the lettuce Pesto too hard, just a little more Oil. If You like the Pesto, the amount should be too little in ratio to the noodles, You can double this easy.
You can garnish the salad of Pesto, incidentally, also very good on Crostinis with a walnut or serve as a Dip, a fried fish. Speaking of walnuts, I spread me too, sometimes some chopped walnuts on my Spaghetti with lamb's lettuce Pesto, because of the walnuts I can't get enough ? .
A little I have to smile always, if I have lettuce in front of me and him plasters and processing. I don't know of any other salad that has so many different names in different regions/countries, such as lettuce . In the case of parents-in-law in Swabia, called him lettuce, lamb's lettuce, he is in Saxony, and corn salad in Austria, just as an example. There are countless others. Me a little exhilarated and makes the salad even more ? .
Another delicious Pesto variant is my arugula Pesto.
