Miso and tahini add a unique dimension
to this nontraditional pesto. Th e
pairing of broccoli raab and orecchiette
pasta is popular in Italy, but any small
pasta works. If you can’t fi nd broccoli
raab, use small broccoli fl orets, Swiss
chard or spinach. For more protein,
add a cup of cooked white beans. |
