Ingredients

  • Leaves from 2 bunch fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts, untoasted
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound angel hair pasta

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic, and olive oil in a blender and blend to a puree. Add the cheese, salt and pepper, and blend again.

Cook the pasta in the boiling, salted water until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add the pesto and toss. Taste for salt and pepper, and add a drizzle of oil, if you like.

    Will make again!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    A solid pesto recipe. It definitely tasted better than store bought pesto and it was so easy to make. I added more garlic... as well. It's a good base - then you can tweak to taste. I added asparagus cut in one inch slices to the pasta.Read more

    Loved it!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    We've made this pesto twice now and have loved it both times. We follow the recipe except use 3 cloves of garlic because we... really like garlic. The pesto's flavor is prominent enough to be used with whole wheat pasta. We use different varieties of basil together out of our garden picked fresh that day.Read more

    Very bland

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    This recipe is really easy. However, it's very bland. I would add more salt and lots more garlic.
