Pasta with pesto and CZJ Flektogon 35 2.4

[torbod]

Long time no see...

Got some inspiration and brought the camera to the kitchen.
Shot with A900 and Flek 35, mostly wide open or one click stopped down.

I had no pine nuts, so I used walnuts and almonds, at least as tasteful IMHO.
I skipped all fancy ingredients such as garlic and lemon.

Roast nuts


Mixing action


Mixed nuts


Add a large lump of parmesan cheese and you can never have too much of basil


And olive oil is mandatory


Salt and pepper and pesto is finished...


Pasta al dente


Some meat for the hungry


Best looking plate for the kids


One more plate for me with some extra black pepper



Now let me see your lunch preparation

You've made me to think about recreating whole process. Culinary part of it to be exact

Great subject, thanks for posting.
Tomorrow will be Sunday. I'll prepare a "Paella à la Valenciana": a delicious spanish food with a lot of "fruits de mèr" or sort of that. I could upload some shots but my dictionary is limited in many subjects to describe the components! But i swear I'll think of you when eating!

Last... Never invite me to dinner, with a plate small like yours, i'll get at least 3 of them!

Pro shoots no doubt! I especially like mixer actions!

Thank you all for friendly comments.

Perhaps I'll do this again. I need some siple way of getting photography on the track again

Great series.
Dare I suggest that you try your pesto with only pine nuts - they have a delicate taste that goes better with the basil's aroma, and use a mix of parmigiano and pecorino (around 50-50) to add some extra spicy feel.

Bon appétit!
Very nice shots, you can sell them on stock
