Delicious Pesto Pasta
When I think of easy lunch or dinner idea; Pesto Pasta is one of my go to meal.
So here is how easy it is to make pesto pasta.
You can keep this recipe vegetarian friendly or add chicken, shrimp or any meat you prefer. Also adding roasted tomatoes or bell peppers to the pesto pasta takes it to another level.
For this recipe I used colorful bow tie pasta. You can use any pasta you have in your pantry.
Boil the pasta according to package instruction. While the pasta is cooking; start making the pesto.
I started by roasting 1/4 cup of pine nuts. If you do not have pine nuts you can use any nuts you have.
These are the ingredients:
1 1/2 cup spinach
1 cup basil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 tsp crushed pepper (optional)
2 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper
Add all the ingredients into a food processer.
Process the ingredients until smooth.
Pour over hot pasta and make sure each and every pasta is perfectly coated with the pesto sauce.
Grate some fresh parmesan cheese on top (optional) and serve.
