Pesto Spaghetti and Proscuito

Home cooked meal #5 11/04/08

These are my ingredients: Semi-Dolce proscuitto, spinach, parmesan cheese, sun dried tomatoes, butter, olive oil, pesto sauce, and spaghetti.

I cooked up some spaghetti and then heated up the proscuitto, parmesan, spinach, dried tomatoes, pesto sauce, and the butter. Half way through heating up I realized my mistake. It was going to be too salty.

So it was very simple: I put the spaghetti in the pan and mixed it all up. It was no surprise when I took the first bite. It was a bit too salty. I now want to learn how to balance out foods, I know that potatoes absorb salt but I don't know what else can do that too.

I figured I would eat it with some bread and that was good. It was a quick meal I made in about 30 minutes.

I think that the pesto sauce was too salty to begin with. I remember from a previous meal where I put too much pesto sauce and it was too salty.

But when your hungry you eat anything and I shared this meal with one of my roommates who cooks some good meals.
What I like the most of this meal was that the meat just melted in your mouth. It was semi-dolce so it wasn't too sweet or too salty.
