"The original recipe came in the packet of Organics Basil I got today. I cooked it up and it was so awesome that I had to save it with a few changes. Roasted Pine Nuts tossed with Linguini and fresh Basil and Spinach. Red Pepper flakes give it a kick balanced out by the nutty flavor of the pine nuts !"

I Love to cook - and I am trying to find great recipes to help me stick to my diet - but also great recipes that let me do the cooking I enjoy. I live in a cabin in Alaska with my husband, and our  brown lab. Husband enjoys skiing, fishing, and hunting, and I enjoy going along. Mostly I enjoy trying out a great new recipe and adding it to our Favorites.
