Ingredients:

Serving

4 medium carrots
3 medium zucchini
1 lb dried linguine
1 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves, washed well and spun dry
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, washed well and spun dry
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
1 tbsp fresh tarragon leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan (about 1 1/2 oz)
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup walnuts, toasted golden brown and cooled
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Directions:

Using a mandoline cut carrots and zucchini into 1/8-inch-thick julienne strips. (Alternatively, using a sharp knife, halve carrots and zucchini crosswise and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-wide pieces.)
In a 6-quart kettle bring 5 quarts salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook 8 minutes, or until barely tender. Add carrots and cook 1 minute. Add zucchini and cook 1 minute. Reserve 2/3 cup cooking water and drain pasta and vegetables.
In a large bowl stir together pesto and reserved hot cooking water. Add pasta and vegetables and toss well.
To make mixed herb pesto: In a food processor blend together all ingredients with salt and pepper to taste until smooth. Pesto keeps, surface covered with plastic wrap, chilled, 1 week. Makes about 3/4 cup.
