Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Using plenty of salt in the pasta water seasons the pasta from the inside out.
2
While the water heats, prepare the pesto. In a food processor, combine the fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: Toasting pine nuts lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the pesto enhances their flavor.
3
Pulse the mixture until finely chopped. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto is smooth and well combined.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
4
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Yaklaşık 8 dk.
Aşçının notu: Al dente means the pasta is cooked through but still firm to the bite.
5
Before draining the pasta, reserve about the starchy pasta cooking water.
Aşçının notu: This water helps to emulsify the sauce and make it extra silky.
6
Drain the pasta thoroughly and immediately return it to the empty pot.
7
Add the prepared pesto to the hot pasta and toss well to coat. If the sauce seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: You can also add a little extra olive oil if you prefer a richer sauce.
8
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra grated Parmesan cheese or a fresh basil leaf.
