1/2 cup olive oil
6 garlic cloves
1/2 cup fresh basil (I used a mixture of sweet basil and Thai lemon basil -- more sweet basil, though)
1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese (optional)
1/8-1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes
1/3 cup roasted walnuts
Mix all ingredients in a blender. I added a couple spoonfuls of marinara to keep the other ingredients from clogging the blender. On my next try with this recipe, I'm going to try adding some mild green olives.
I served this over farfalle pasta, but I think I'd also like to try this as a dip for garlic knots.

Spicy Peanut Cucumber Salad
I mixed the following ingredients and am really liking the outcome:
sliced cucumber
diced red bell pepper
chopped red onion
cubed baked tofu (I used the "Savory Flavor" from Trader Joe's)
roasted pepitas
spicy peanut vinaigrette (again, from Trader Joe's)
Touch of soy sauce
This dish is sure to be extra delicious while listening to Cibo Matto's "Viva! la Woman"
