shane-o: Bah, now I'm tempted as all heck to go get some Gnocchi Calabrese 
 Tarnicus: Italian was sooo worth it...do it! :)  
ryuutane: There'll be pasta and there'll be green...not enough ingredients for making pesto right now though.  
 EDIT: on the other hand, do hemp seeds make good pesto? If yes then you just gave me an idea. Yum. 
 Tarnicus: Even though hemp seeds are a brilliant source of nutrition, I'm not sure they've make the most flavoursome pesto. I grow basil (although at this time of year where I live mine hasn't grown enough to provide anything due to the cold) and if you don't have pine nuts, cashews or pistachios can make a good substitute :) 
 It would be ramsons pesto, that's quite flavoursome on it's own, and as I don't have cashews at the moment, I figured hemp would be the next best thing. I'd need to try it out to praise it or diss it I guess.
