Pulse the ingredients until a smooth, bright green pesto forms. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: If the pesto is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of olive oil or a splash of pasta water.

Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Přibližně 8 min

Add the prepared pesto to the hot pasta and toss thoroughly to coat every strand.

If the pasta seems too dry, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
