Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

Coarse salt and ground pepper
8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
Lighter Pesto (recipe follows)
Fresh basil leaves, cut into chiffonade, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta and return to pot.
  • Toss pasta with pesto, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a thin sauce that coats spaghetti (you may not need all the water). Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, garnished with basil, if desired.
