Pasta with Pesto Sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup nuts (pine nuts, walnuts, or almonds)
2 cups fresh basil leaves, firmly packed.
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup grated Parmeson cheese
12-16 oz pasta
Combine all ingredients except Parmeson and pasta in a small food processor* or blender. blend evenly, almost smooth.
scoop into a big serving bowl and stir in parmeson.
Add cooked pasta and a little of the pasta water if it seems a little dry or sticky.
You can buy it already made but it isn't as good.
I have seen recipes that don't use the blender so that might be worth a search.
