Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, minced garlic, pine nuts, and grated Parmesan cheese. Pulse until finely chopped.

  2. 2

    Add Olive Oil

    With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.

  3. 3

    Season the Pesto

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Blend again until well mixed.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve a cup of pasta water.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Pesto

    In a large bowl, combine the drained pasta with the pesto. If the mixture is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
