Orecchiette with Sweet Pepper Pesto and Goat Cheese

This recipe was presented as part of a food segment on the Today show (a video clip of the segment is also available at the Today Show website).

Mario Batali was the chef and he showed how to make this very easy pesto (basically two sweet peppers, sherry vinegar, salt and pepper, and olive oil). It was very good and quick. The other two pestos included at this url are a broccoli raab pesto and a swiss chard pesto.

Served with a shaved asparagus, prosciutto and parmesan salad that complemented the pasta very well.
