COMMENTS:

This weeks box of goodies from the Amish folks had a large head of Bok Choy cabbage that I had to use. I had some serious doubts as prepared the pesto…kinda made it up as I went along. At first I was not happy with the results, so I added a small amount of basil and garlic and this did the trick. The prosciutto added a great touch to the final taste. P and I both liked the flavor…not as harsh, or as P said, obnoxious, as basil pesto. This is a great way to use Bok Choy.

This would also go well with linguine.
