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.
