It's been a while since I cooked a pasta dish so I thought why not go with pasta shells. I love this type of pasta because it has the added advantage of holding the ingredients inside their shells so you always get that extra sauce stuck in between the hollow spaces. I also love cooking with pasta shells because they kind of remind me of the ocean. Which I havent been to in a really long time. The last time I ever visited an ocean was when we were in primary school for a class 8 school trip when we were younger. It was a trip to Mombasa for a week. My best days were those spent collecting shells which I would then tightly sqeeze against my ear to hear the ocean breeze. Forget the fact that I was standing on the beach itself right where the waves hit the edges! But hearing the breeze from those tiny and sometimes humongous shells was bliss for me. I need to plan a trip to visit the beach again. Okaaaay, back to shells that are delicious and can be eaten. This time I made the pasta dish with Pesto sauce. Pesto is one of those dips that in you should try making once in your lifetime. Because it is THAT good! And paired with pasta, you forget every other pasta dish you have ever made, trust me on this! The recipe for this Pesto dip I will share next month during something really amazing happening throughout August! Can't wait, almost there...
