Happy Easter! We usually celebrate more traditionally with ham, lamb and some family, but being in the middle of a move we kept it simple. I had planned a pasta dish but realized that half of the ingredients I needed had already been moved, so this is my husband's improvisation. This is where he far trumps me in the kitchen. I can follow just about any recipe, but I'm not great at winging it. He roasted some veggies (ramps- which are like a scallion/leek, yellow pepper and some other veggies we had) and pureed them with some roasted pine nuts, olive oil, salt & pepper. He tossed the orecchiette with the pesto and added a few reserved roasted veggies. I like using orecchiette for this kind of sauce as it kind of grabs it and tucks it in its little pockets. I had purchased some watercress just basically because it looked so good, and I made a side salad with a light champagne vinaigrette.
