Instructions
- Chop squashes and potatoes into approx. 1 1/2 inch cubes. Place them on a baking pan and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Roast for 20 -25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and cooked through.
- While the vegetables are roasting prepare the tomatoes and pesto.
- Coarsely chop the fresh tomatoes, set aside.
- Prepare the pesto by lightly toasting the nuts until golden. Be careful not to burn them. Then using a food processor, add to it all the pesto ingredients (toasted nuts, basil, garlic, lemon juice, a couple pinches of salt & pepper, and olive oil) Blend thoroughly until smooth and a creamy texture. If the pesto is too dry add more olive as needed.
- When the roasted vegetables are ready, remove from oven and place them in a large serving bowl.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes and pesto.
- Serve with crusty bread and extra virgin olive oil.
