How to Make Nif's Pasta Alle Pesto
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 100g of pasta (your favorite shape!) and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the pesto: Combine 2 cups fresh basil leaves, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup pine nuts, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
- If needed, thin the pesto with 1-2 tablespoons of pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
- Add the drained pasta to a serving bowl. Add the pesto and toss to combine. Add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
- Serve immediately and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of pine nuts if desired.
