I have been enjoying the wild leeks and I just tried a wild leek pesto as well. I like the sound of using the feta in a pesto as it is strong enough to stand up to the wild leeks.

I love the flavor of leeks so this is a recipe worth trying. I love the simplicity of this pasta dish and I agree it makes for a perfect al fresco meal with a lovely glass of wine on a warm evening. Isn’t it great having fresh herbs on hand? My chives are getting out of hand with this heat lately.
Great post Peter!

I’m such a pesto nut. I love the creative use of the ingredient du jour (this is the time for ramps/wild leeks after all).

I love love love what romano cheese does to pesto, so I’m glad you used it. This is a winner.

I have been trying to hunt down ouzo because I know I would love using it culinary wise.

Good substitution especially since chives grow like a weed. It beats trimming them just for the chives to end up in the compost bin.

You can never go wrong with a good simple meal like this. Nicely done as always!
