Pesto

I have enough basil now.

It’s time to make pesto.

My homemade pesto

Pleases every palette

It has the perfect amount of everything

And everything marries together well.

I saute the shrimp and I boil the penne

A little garlic because too much is not a thing.

Pour in the pesto and just get it hot.

My secret? A ladle of the pasta water

All those starches — 

Mixed up in the sauce

Big bowl

Combine.

Fresh parmesan and Heaven.
