Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup pimiento-stuffed olives -- drained

1/2 cup raw walnuts -- chopped

1/4 cup olive oil -- 1/4 " dice

1/4 cup Madeira

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese -- finely grated

1/4 cup fresh parsley -- firmly packed, chopped

2 medium garlic cloves -- chopped

freshly ground black pepper -- several grinds

1 1/2 pounds dried pasta -- linguine or lasagnette

 

Puree all ingredients except pasta in a food processor or blender until a thick,

color-flecked paste is formed. Prepare this pesto well ahead of time, if

possible, so the flavors have time to blend. Store covered in the refrigerator.

When ready to eat, put several quarts of water on to boil and bring the pesto to

room temperature. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Toss the pesto

with hot noodles in a warm bowl until well distributed. Pass more cheese and the

pepper grinder, if you will.

" The sharp flavor of pimiento-stuffed olives is mellowed here by the other

ingredients. In fact, most people will not guess the primary ingredient of this

pesto, though they will eat it in large quantities. "
