JUICY PESTO PASTA!

JUICY Pesto Pasta! image

Recipe video above. This is how to make a great pesto pasta that's slick with pesto sauce without adding tons and tons of oil which makes it overly oily. The secret is using the pasta cooking water - it emulsifies with the oil in the pesto which makes it cling to every strand of pasta. A technique used in every Italian household! Make this with homemade pesto for the best flavour.

Ingredients

1 quantity homemade pesto ((Note 1))
300 - 350 g / 10 - 12 oz pasta of choice ((ziti, penne and spaghetti are my favourites, Note 2))
2 tsp salt
3/4 cup pasta cooking water
Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to the boil with the salt.
Add pasta and cook for the length of time per the packet.
Just before draining, scoop out 1 cup of of the pasta cooking water.
Drain pasta in a colander, leave it for a minute.
Transfer pasta to a bowl (do not use pasta cooking pot, too hot).
Add pesto and 1/4 cup of pasta water. Toss to coat pasta in pesto, adding more water if required to make pasta silky and saucy, rather than dry and sticky.
Taste, add more salt and pepper if desired.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parmesan.

THE BEST CLASSIC PESTO

Peppery, tangy, creamy, and fresh-tasting - this pesto has it all. It's a great way to use up the bounty of your summer herb garden, and each batch will last in the fridge for up to 2 weeks! Use it to dress up pasta, potatoes, eggs, sauces, marinades, or soups. Spread it on bread and top with grilled chicken and tomatoes for a delightful open-faced sandwich. Or, stir a spoonful into mayonnaise for a homemade pesto aioli.
