I think it’s that LOST skipped a week…I really wanted to go all-out last night with snacks and drinks! After whipping up those Orange Ginger Cupcakes, I remembered that there was a can of lychees in the pantry from that trip to Super H with Charlie and Steph.

My sister and I had made lychee martinis before, but my vodka supply was low and that didn’t feel like so much of an island-themed drink anyway. Then I remembered that we had some rum! YES! It was so on. Here’s the recipe:

Pasta Salad with Lime-Basil Aioli

Becky Striepe — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:00:16 +0000

This week’s Vegetable Husband included a beautiful bunch of basil and a bag full of local sweet onions! Add the garlic I had left over from last week’s delivery, and this recipe really wrote itself.

This salad would be a perfect side to bring to a summer cookout!

Pasta Salad with Lime-Basil Aioli

handful of fresh basil leaves
juice of 1/2 a lime
2-3 cloves of garlic
1/2c Veganaise
1/4c onion, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
2T nutrutional yeast, optional
5c cooked pasta of your choice
1c frozen peas and carrots, defrosted and well drained

In a blender or food processor, whizz the basil, lime, and garlic until everything it nicely chopped. Stir in the Veganaise and onions. Add the salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast (if you’re using it).

In a large bowl, combine the pasta with the peas and carrots. Add the sauce, and stir well. Chill until you’re ready to serve!

This is a recipe that I made a few Thanksgivings ago, and it was a total hit with vegans and omnis alike! This recipe can also be served totally raw! Just skip the baking, and let the ingredients set for about an hour at room temperature. If you want to make it 100% raw, just leave out the bread, adding an extra handful or two of spinach.
