Sausage-walnut-pesto-parmesan pasta

Well, I think I have to admit that this has been a failed experiment. Other than a few glorious tangos with MSPaint I never really got excited about writing these posts. I think it's time to bring the breadblog to a close yet again, so I'll wrap this up with one final recipe.

And a nice and easy one, at that. Start off by sauteing 1/3 cup of crushed walnuts in 2 T butter. Remove the casing from ~1 pound of sweet Italian (turkey) sausage, add to the walnuts, and cook until done. This would have been a good point to drain off the excess fat from the butter/cooked sausage, but I forgot to do so. Anyway, add a half-cup of delicious, delicious pesto, and a half cup of grated parmesan. (This is one of the rare instances in which this blog served its function: I was feeling lazy and wasn't going to grate any cheese, but then I thought "this will sound like it tastes better if I add in parmesan..." Which I think is true, but regardless of whether it sounds that way, it definitely tastes that way.) Ideally, serve over linguine...but all I had was a box of shells, but it's all pasta, right?

Verdict: Pesto makes everything awesome.

p.s. My attention was just called to the following little factoid: I have successfully (as of 12/24/11) created a webpage that comes up as the #1 hit on google if you enter a one word search ("pusstabrot"). I feel like I should get a ribbon or trophy or something.
