Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Mafaldine

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Mafaldine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pesto Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Pesto Genovese with a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up. Add the drained Mafaldine to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Toast the Pine Nuts

    In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Add the toasted pine nuts to the pasta and pesto mixture. Grate the Parmigiano Reggiano over the top and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to combine and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Serve immediately.
