not bad and quite quick

This evening, we had a bunch of cilantro lying around, cilantro that Mr. P had forgotten to use on his potluck dish last week. So I made a cilantro pesto -- herb, olive oil, romano cheese (pre-grated), and pine nuts, chopped up in the food processor. I put most of it in a plastic bag in the freezer for consumption later this winter; the rest went into a bowl.

Then I mixed in some filled gnocchi which I had heated up and steamed broccoli, mushrooms, and garlic. Mixed the whole dish and served it with Romano cheese on top.

On the side, we had a little salad of fresh mozarella, plum tomatoes, carrots, and scallions.

A good quick meal; quite satisfying, actually.
