PESTO PASTA
Serves 4

INGREDIENTS
½ pound of fusilli pasta

For the Pesto:
2 cups (475 ml) of fresh basil
1 clove garlic
3 tbsp (45 ml) pine nuts
½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
¼ tsp (1.25 ml) freshly cracked pepper
½ cup (120 ml) of olive oil
¼ cup (22 g) Parmesan cheese

METHOD:
Boil water and cook pasta according to the package instructions.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse together the basil, garlic and pine nuts into a fine mince. While the machine is running, slowly add the oil in a steady stream until combined. Turn off the machine, and remove the blade. Stir in the cheese.

Drain the pasta and place it back into the pot without the water in it. The heat from the pot will keep the pasta warm. Toss the warm pasta with the pesto, and serve!

This is also great as a cold salad too!
