Nora's Pesto Pasta




I texted my friend Nora over at University of Massachusetts for this recipe. She has been vegetarian her whole life and I simply adore her family and all their vegetarian recipes. This one is my favorite, I think. And I bet I can even add in halved cherry tomatoes or asparagus.

3 cups basil leaves
1 tsp pine nuts
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Toast the pine nuts by cooking on low in a skillet for about two minutes.

Blend everything in a food processor or roughly chop the basil and pine nuts.

Cook pasta. Tortellini, bowtie, spaghetti, or really any kind of pasta works.

Throw it all together!



Thanks, Nora!
