Spaghetti with pesto sauce

This dish is a lifesaver when you don't want to spend much time in the kitchen. The Pesto recipe I've already written about is an absolutely amazing sauce that goes great with fish, as a salad dressing, and can turn ordinary pasta into a restaurant dish. Everything is quite simple - while the pasta is boiling, you whip up the sauce in a blender, and in 15 minutes you serve a delicious dish. Even meat lovers will be delighted, proven!

Potato salad with olives and feta

I've never made potato salads before, I kept thinking potatoes were better served warm as a side dish. But recently I baked pork knuckle, which in itself is quite hearty and nutritious, and I didn't want to serve it with traditional "mashed potatoes" so I thought about potato salad. In winter, the choice of vegetables, which are always available, is small, so I limited myself to feta cheese and olives, and dressed the salad with pesto sauce. It turned out great!

Pesto sauce

Pesto sauce "Pesto" is a popular Italian sauce made from basil, olive oil and cheese. Pesto "Pesto" is perfect with a variety of pasta, as a salad dressing, and will complement the flavor of fish and meat dishes. Pour this sauce over cutlets or baked fish, and you will be surprised how much the flavor of the dish will be enriched. Classic "pesto" is prepared in a marble mortar with a wooden pestle, but the age of progress has simplified and accelerated the process to the maximum - grind all the ingredients in a blender and voila, the sauce is ready!

Beet salad with goat cheese and basil dressing

Very tasty, but based on the ingredients it's a bit of a winter salad - in winter you usually have all the ingredients. I was going to dress the salad with pesto, but there was only purple basil at home, and I found a bunch of arugula, so I changed my plans. I recommend you to make the dressing with green basil, it looks more aesthetically pleasing. If you don't eat goat cheese, use feta or feta cheese.

Pasta with aubergines

I have to admit, I love eggplant - when it's in season I always try to cook something with it, but my husband is not a big fan of vegetables. There's no meat in this recipe, so I was a bit hesitant to make it, but I did. And, oh wonder! My husband confessed that even though there is no meat in this dish, it is still very tasty! So, while the season of fresh and excellent quality vegetables is not over yet, hurry up to prepare this dish - you won't regret it! Plus, this dish will be lean if you replace the cheese with vegetarian cheese or eliminate it altogether.

Baked vegetable appetizer

I noticed the recipe for this appetizer from the TV show "On Knives" a long time ago, but I kept putting it off because it's very similar to the recipe for eggplant caviar, and I cook it according to my long-tested recipe. But this recipe will suit both "ulcers" and those who try to eat less fatty food, because the oil in the recipe is used less than usual. In addition, the appetizer turns out bright and colorful. And it's a great snack.

Salted lard

It is very easy to pickle lard yourself, but its "maturation" requires time and patience. If you do everything right and wait for the right time, you will get very tasty and flavorful homemade salted lard - both a great appetizer and simply &quot&quot&quot" Ukrainian delicacy. The recipe is from "The Gastronome's Book of Meat" .

Sun-dried tomatoes

Sun-dried tomatoes are easy to prepare, but will take time to dry. But in winter, they're a godsend - you can eat them plain, add them to pizza, sandwiches, baked goods, pasta, etc. The recipe is from Natasha, thank you to her.

Basil cutlets

Everyone loves cutlets. But for many people, this dish seems ordinary and banal. But what if you try to give it a new twist by adding aromatic herbs? I'm sure you'll love it! I used basil, but you can successfully add parsley, cilantro, rosemary, etc. It all depends on your imagination and preferences.
