4 Herbed Pesto

4-Herbed Pesto
2 cups small whole wheat macaroni shells
2 1/2 tablespoons basil
2 tablespoons oregano or 2 tablespoons marjoram
1 tablespoon dill weed
1 tablespoon parsley
2  small cloves of garlic, minced
3 tablespoons sunflower seeds

You may use this pesto mixed with mayo as a spread for a sandwich, or instead of mayo...OR...you may use it over cooked and drained pasta!
 
While pasta is cooking, crumble herbs into an unoiled cast-iron pan over a medium flame. Stir rapidly and continuously with a wooden spoon until herbs darken, then push them to the side of the pan. Add a little bit of oil and the garlic to the center of the pan. After 1 minute, stir in the herbs. Add sunflower seeds and cook for another few minutes.
Good Eating!
