Directions
30 min.
1. Step
Cook penne pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Do not forget to set aside some of the cooking water to use later to achieve the right consistency of the pesto.
2. Step
While the penne is cooking, combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic, parmesan, olive oil, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until a smooth paste is formed.
3. Step
Stir the blended pesto into the cooked and drained pasta. If the pesto is too thick, add a little water from cooking the pasta until you reach the desired consistency.
