Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
- 4 cups fresh parsley (stems and all)
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instruction
- Cook pasta according to package directions in heavily salted water. Scoop out a cup of pasta water before you drain it.
- While the pasta is cooking, make the pesto: process the parsley and walnuts until well chopped. Add the cheese and pulse a few times. Now pour the oil through the feeder tube while the processor is running until the pesto is smooth.
- Toss the hot pasta with the pesto, adding the pesto in increments until you have the amount you like on your pasta (you may have some leftover, which is a wonderful thing!). Add a little pasta water until the pasta has a light sauce.
- Serve garnished with a little chopped parsley and fresh ground pepper.
