"Another wonderful recipe find from "The Weekly Times". I love reading this paper and always find a few wonderful recipes in it each week. This recipe was written by Jeremy Vincent ~ In this recipe t, he uses Kaleas a variation to the traditional Italian pesto sauce, usually made with basil. He suggests A generous amount of parmesan cheese makes all the difference to this recipe. I am going to try this soon, and maybe try to cut down on the oil a little."
