We have cubes of pesto in the freezer that we made over the last couple of growing seasons. This particular pesto is a basil, almond, garlic, olive oil, parmesan combination. Pesto can be made with basil, parsley, even oregano and you can chose the nuts you like best. Pine nuts are quite expensive so we opted for almonds.

The tilapia roasts in a 400F oven for 10 to 12 minutes depending on the thickness. When it was done it got a good smear of the pesto. Even though the pesto had darkened from its original bright green it still tasted delicious.

Rounding out the dinner was a portion of rice and quite a few spears of asparagus. The pesto tasted good on them too!
