Pasta Pesto
Ingrediënten
- 12 ounces pasta
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- to taste salt
Instructies
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta of your choice (e.g., spaghetti, fusilli, or penne) to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- While the pasta is cooking, prepare the pesto sauce. In a food processor, combine fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt.
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Once the pasta is cooked, reserve a cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.
- Return the drained pasta to the pot over low heat, add the pesto sauce, and mix well. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until reaching the desired consistency.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of pine nuts if desired.
