Pesto Fettuccine
Ingredients
2 cups of fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons of pine nuts
2 cloves of fresh garlic
1/2 cup of olive oil
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste.
Method
Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, combine the basil, pine nuts, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Slowly add the olive oil while continuing to pulse until the mixture is smooth. Add the Parmesan cheese and pulse a few more times to combine.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Return the pasta to the pot and toss it with the pesto sauce, adding some of the reserved pasta water if needed to thin out the sauce.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot
