Pesto Pasta
This is a super simple, quick and delicious pasta pesto recipe! I've included a link to the best basil pesto recipe using an all new ingredient or you can use a store bought pesto for your convenience!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Homemade Basil Pesto Recipe
- 250/300 grams spaghetti pasta (reserve 1 cup of pasta water)
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Parmesan cheese, grated
- fresh basil leaves (for serving)
Instructions
- Bring the water to boil, add salt and cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Reserve about a cup of the water when draining.
- In a clean bowl, add the cooked pasta, reserved pasta water and the pesto. Mix well adding less or more water depending on how you like it.IMPORTANT: Don't add the pesto to the pasta in a hot pot or stove it may change from a vibrant green to a dark almost black color and lose it's flavor. Rather add the pesto to the pasta when it's off the stove and cooled down or use a separate bowl to mix. You can always add a drop of pasta water if your pasta is not as loose but too much pasta water will also affect the vibrant color of the pesto so a dash at a time of pasta water.
- Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese, fresh black pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and fresh basil.Enjoy!
