Cabestan Scuderia Ferrari One

Cabestan Scuderia Ferrari One is the watch made exclusively for Ferrari owners. From the Brand itself you’ll definitely have an idea about its cost. Made from Titanium alloy, it’s light and takes the design from Ferrari’s race cars. Like the side panel of the watch wherein a magnesium alloy was used to create a design that looks like the race car wheels and the lug nuts of pit stop tire changes during Grand Prix races. And also the strap that looks like the car’s interior. $300,000.  

Spaghetti with Parsley Almond Pesto

Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic
• 1 1/2 cup(s) lightly packed flat-leaf parsley with thick stems removed
• 3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
• 1/3 cup(s) olive oil
• 1/3 cup(s) unsalted blanched almonds
• 3/4 pound(s) spaghetti
• 2 plum tomatoes, chopped

Directions

1. In a food processor, puree the garlic and parsley with the salt. With the machine running, add the olive oil in a thin stream. Add the almonds and pulse to chop.
2. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain the spaghetti and toss with 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water, the pesto, and the tomatoes. If the sauce seems too thick, add more of the reserved pasta water.
3. Variations: Spaghetti with Parsley Almond Pesto and Parmesan: Stir 1/4 cup grated Parmesan into the parsley pesto after chopping the almonds. Spaghetti with Parsley Pine-Nut Pesto: Use 1/3 cup pine nuts in place of the almonds for a more traditional pesto.
4. Wine Recommendation: With the parsley, olive oil, and almonds, a simple, lively white wine is best. Good examples are a pinot grigio from the Alto Adige and a Vernaccia di San Gimignano from Tuscany.
   

Tips & Techniques

Traditional pesto is an uncooked sauce from Genoa made with basil, garlic, olive oil, grated cheese, and pine nuts. More recently pesto, which literally means "crushed," is being used as a general term to describe many herb-and-nut purees. Feel free to experiment with different herbs, nuts, and grated cheeses, depending on what you like and can get easily.
