St. Patrick's Day Pesto Pasta
Lisa made this for her family on St. Patrick's Day. I thought it sounded good. Easy to make. The kids and I loved it. Might try adding some spinach next time. I mixed the spinach noodles and whole grain linguine noodles.
1 1/2 cups tightly packed, washed and dried basil leaves
1/2 cup walnuts
2 chopped garlic cloves
2/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 lb. spinach linguine or fettuccine
Instructions
Chop basil leaves in a food processor or blender. Add walnuts and garlic. Process until finely ground. With the machine running, slowly add oil. Next, pour in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix and then set aside.
Cook linguine or fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and toss with the pesto in a serving bowl. Top with more Parmesan cheese. Serves 4 to 6.
