Indulge in this delightful Creamy Pesto Pasta, where the vibrant flavors of fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, and garlic meld together in a luscious creamy sauce. This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
Ingredients: 350g pasta. 2 cups fresh basil leaves. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/3 cup pine nuts. 2 cloves garlic. 1/2 cup olive oil. 1/2 cup heavy cream. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Follow the directions on the package to cook the pasta until it is al dente. Remove the water and set it aside. Put basil, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and garlic in a food processor and blend them together. Pulse until the food is very small. Slowly add the olive oil while the processor is running until a smooth paste forms. Heavy cream should be heated over medium heat in a different saucepan until it is fully melted. Add the pesto mixture and stir it in until everything is well mixed and hot. Mix the cooked pasta with the smooth pesto sauce by tossing it around. Add pepper and salt to taste. If you want, you can serve it hot with extra Parmesan cheese and basil leaves on top.
