Cooking instruction summary:

Boil water, add salt, then pasta. Cook according to package instructions. Pasta with grooves is best.Add sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, basil, garlic and 2 Tbsp vegan parmesan cheese to a food processor or high speed blender and puree into a pesto-like consistency.If it has trouble mixing, add a bit of hot pasta water (2-3 Tbsp) to help encourage it along. It doesnt need to be finely pureed, just well mixed. I think a bit of texture is a good thing in this dish.Add drained pasta back to the pot you cooked it in and add pesto.

Food Trivia

Several ancient cultures viewed the apple as a feminine symbol and found a resemblance between the two halves of a vertically cut apple to the female genital system. Alternatively, an apple cut horizontally resembled a pentagram, which was considered key in revealing knowledge of good and evil.

Food Joke

Not long after their wedding, Scott and Tracy awoke early one morning. The couple had been up for quite a while before they met up in the kitchen. Marriage was agreeing with Scott, and he greeted his new wife with glee and excitation that morning. "If you'll make the toast and pour the juice, sweetheart," said Tracy, the newlywed bride, "breakfast will be ready." "Great! What are we having for breakfast?" asked Scott. "Toast and juice," replied Tracy.
