My good friend Raquel and I helped clean an old lady’s house the day before Mother’s day this year. Well, she took her out to perm her hair for 4 hours; I stayed and cleaned. Jason, the old lady’s grandson, is a good friend of mine. We call this old lady, Nana, we are officially her adopted grand daughters. After a whole day of sorting and cleaning, Nana was grateful to have her bedroom back, neat and clean. Jason took us out to an Italian dinner at a restaurant. Their food was so good. This is my version of their Pasta Monte Carlo.
Ingredients
Ground beef ½ lb
Ground pork ½ lb
Pesto 1 cup
Thai basil leaves ½ cup
Salt and pepper to taste
Pasta, cooked to taste
Red chili flakes to taste
1. Heat a teaspoon of oil in a frying pan, add the ground pork and beef to cook, try to break up the bigger pieces and mix the two kinds of meat, around 3-4 minutes. Pick up the pan and pour the excess oil out, then add the pesto sauce and Thai basil leaves to blend along with salt and pepper, place the lid on for a couple of minutes to marry all the flavors together.
2. Pour the meat sauce onto cooked pasta, sprinkle with red chili flakes and parmesan cheese, or like me, Pecorino Ramono.
Serving: 4
