Steps:
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and put into a large serving bowl.

CILANTRO PARSLEY PESTO
There's a ton of recipes out there similar to this one, and I've tried many of them. This is my own adaptation using a combination of cilantro and parsley. Toasting the pine nuts is crucial for enhanced flavor. Make a day ahead to let the flavors intensify. This is an amazing condiment to grilled fish, seafood and chicken. It's also great as a sauce mixed in pasta.

GARLIC-FREE PARSLEY PESTO
We have lots of parsley in the garden and can't eat garlic. This pesto fits the bill and is tasty too. Use it thick, as the recipe makes, for a spread or garnish. For a sauce, add some of the water your pasta is cooking in. The flour in the water acts as a binder.

GRILLED TOMATOES AND ASPARAGUS WITH PESTO GARNISH
Lots of flavor! This recipe was made for the RSC contest so that is why different ingredients are used like the soy and Ricotta. I myself would like my pesto Recipe #49909 better. And as for the 1/2 teaspoon light soy you don't even know it's there. But if you like go ahead and use salt or just skip it! For the pesto is strong and the veggies need nothing extra.
