1 cup basil, fresh
2 cloves garlic
1/3 oz (167 kernels) pine nuts, dried
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 dash salt
1/3 cup olive oil
16 ounce whole wheat pasta shells
3 medium cucumber
4 oz – mozzarella cheese
1 cup – black olives, canned
In a blender or food processor, combine basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, salt, and olive oil (you can add pepper if you want as well). Taste and add more salt, pepper or garlic if desired.
Bring a pot of water (about 5 cups) to a boil and add whole wheat pasta. Cook according to box instructions. Drain and add pesto sauce. Stir well and let cool.
Peel and chop up 1 1/2 of the cucumbers and stir into pasta.
Pour out onto a platter and make a rectangle out of the pasta. Cut two slices of mozzarella and make them into circles using a cookie cutter or knife. Use olives to create Frank's hair, pupils and mouth. Use the rest of the cucumber to make "bolts" in the side of his neck
