Instructions

  • Cook pasta al dente according to package instructions (it should have a bite to it and not be too soft). Drain.
  • Make pesto: Add all the ingredients except the olive oil into a food processor bowl.
  • Mix over high speed until very finely chopped (it should be a little bit chunky and not completely smooth).
  • Add the olive oil and mix over low speed or pulse until well-combined.

  • Toss the cooked pasta with pesto.
  • Serve sprinkled with grated parmesan cheese.
