Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil for the pasta.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
- 2
While the water heats, prepare the pesto. Combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a food processor.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Toasting the pine nuts beforehand in a dry pan enhances their flavor.
- 3
Pulse the ingredients until a smooth, bright green pesto forms. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: If the pesto is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of olive oil or a splash of pasta water.
- 4
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Yaklaşık 8 dk.
Aşçının notu: Reserve about 1 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining.
- 5
Drain the cooked pasta and immediately transfer it to a large serving bowl.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 6
Add the prepared pesto to the hot pasta and toss thoroughly to coat every strand.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: The residual heat from the pasta will gently warm the pesto.
- 7
If the pasta seems too dry, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
Aşçının notu: The pasta water helps emulsify the sauce and makes it cling better to the pasta.
