Guest guest Posted November 28, 2000 Report Share Posted November 28, 2000 * Exported from MasterCook * Chilled Asian Pesto Pasta Recipe By : Healthful cooking by Mary Carroll, Star Trib 6/8/00 Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Healthful Cooking Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 pound udon noodles 4 cups fresh basil leaves -- (packed) 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pine nuts 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon light colored miso paste 2 cloves garlic -- minced 2 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce Serves 4. My favorite chilled noodle dish combines udon with an Asian pesto made with miso paste. Miso tastes like solid soy sauce and is used as a seasoning for Asian soups and broths. In a large pot over high heat, cook udon in 2 quarts boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Drain well and rinse briefly under lukewarm water. In food processor fitted with steel blade, blend basil, nuts, oil, miso paste and garlic into a chunky paste. Transfer to a large bowl. Add noodles; stir to coat. Cover and chill 1 hour. Serve on lettuce.
