Pesto Linguine

Linguine with Home-made Pesto Sauce

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz linguine pasta
  • 1/4 cup pesto sauce – recipe HERE
  • Parmesan cheese – grated
  • Fresh parsley or basil leaves – garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the linguine in a pot of well salted water per the maker’s instructions and reserve a half cup of pasta water before draining the pasta
  2. Drain the pasta and set the empty pot off the heat. Add 2 tablespoons of pasta water to the pot, return the drained pasta to the pot and swirl to re-coat in pasta water. This will help the pesto adhere to the pasta.
  3. Add the pesto sauce and mix with a pasta ladle or spatula until each strand is fully coated
  4. Plate immediately, garnish with parsley, a tablespoon of extra pesto sauce (optional) a little grated parmesan and garlic bread
