Pesto Pasta

4 Servings

Ingredients

1 pound farfalle pasta
3 cups fresh basil leaves
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/6 teaspoon black pepper


Directions

- In a food processor, blend together basil leaves, walnuts, garlic, and cheese. Pour in oil slowly while still mixing. Stir in salt and pepper.
- Bring water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until the pasta is done. Drain the pasta. Toss hot pasta with pesto quickly (without rinsing it) so the pasta absorbs more sauce and flavor.
