Pasta with Pesto Recipe
No Reviews
If you want to enjoy good pasta, this is the Italian recipe to make. You can then serve it as a side dish with chicken or another meat, or even with some halved cherry tomatoes. Here, it's a sauce similar to pesto but without cheese or pine nuts.
Ingredients
1 Basil
3 cloves Chopped garlic
5 Olive oil
Directions
1
Preparation of the pesto: Finely chop the basil (usually with a mortar as it retains all its flavor).
2
Incorporate the chopped garlic cloves, mix, and add olive oil until you achieve a green paste.
3
Cooking the pasta Heat the pasta according to the indicated cooking time.
4
Plating the dish Mix a few spoonfuls of pesto with the pasta and serve hot.

For me, it's simple, quick, easy, and excellent, especially with garden basil. I enjoy them accompanied by two or three fried eggs. -

A delight! A simple and quick recipe. My guests enjoyed it! My suggestion: I added a few drops of basil oil to enhance the flavor. -

Confusion between Pesto and Pistou I notice that in the comments many confuse the Italian Pesto (basil, garlic, pine nuts, and olive oil) and the Provençal Pistou (basil, garlic, and olive oil). For your information, for the pistou soup, grated aged cheese is added or, brought by the Italians, parmesan. Never, oh never, should cheese like Gruyère be used, which is absurd. -

pistou vs pesto To respond to other comments: Indeed, the real recipe for pesto is made with pine nuts, but this is a pistou that is made without pine nuts and with garlic. Thank you for this simple recipe. -

Quick and easy Simple, quick to make when you have unexpected guests. My suggestion: Before basil became popular outside the southeast, I used parsley instead (1970s).
