Pasta with pesto sauce is one of the simplest menus to prepare especially after a long day at work when the last thing you want to do is think of cooking a family meal. It is a nutritious dish, and loved by all the family… Boil up the pasta, add a jar of basil pesto and hey pesto! (pardon the pun). And very few dishes to wash up after.

But have you ever wondered how to make a fresh pesto yourself? It really is incredibly easy, and once you have tried this pesto recipe I guarantee you will never buy it from the supermarket again. Best of all it only takes 5 minutes to prepare! Make up large batches of pesto sauce, freeze in ice cube trays and then transfer to freezer bags. Simply defrost the pesto cubes when you want to use it.

Having different types of dies to use makes handling different types of pastas a breeze. If you change out the type of die, or grid, that you are using you can easily go from making one type of noodle over to another, for creating different types of delicious pasta dishes.

The pungent aroma and flavor of basil makes pesto sauce an ideal pasta sauce. It is best served with tubular pastas such as Penne, Rigatoni or Torcoletti as they are perfect for scooping up the sauce. Stir the pesto sauce into the hot pasta, serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and a sprig of basil to garnish. A pasta and pesto dish goes perfect with a side salad of peppery rocket and grated Parmesan, drizzled in garlic flavored olive oil… Oh and a chunk of ciabatta bread too.

You will need:

A blender or food processor, 3 cups fresh basil 3-4 cloves garlic 1.5 cups pine nuts (I prefer to toast them first) 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 cup olive oil Sea salt and black pepper

Directions:

In a food processor, blend together basil, pine nuts, garlic, and Parmesan until smooth. Pour in olive oil slowly in a constant stream while still mixing. (The amount of olive oil can be adjusted to suit the preferred consistency of your pesto sauce). Finally add sea salt and black pepper to taste.

As an alternative try making red pesto sauce adding 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes you can be published without charge. You can to republish this article in your website or blog. Please provide links Active.
