I first tried pesto in a restaurant about 15 years ago and asked the chef what was in it. I love keeping my own jar of this on hand as it yields enough for a pound of pasta and is wonderful drizzled over tomatoes, boiled potatoes, or Italian bread.

Spicy Bok Choy in Garlic Sauce
I like to serve this garlic bok choy with grilled shrimp and steamed rice. For variety, I sometimes add a little lemon zest just before serving. Bok choy is one of my favorite vegetables. Its slightly bitter taste is complemented by the sweetness of the sauce in this recipe.
