Pasta with Pesto Sauce

http://www.soscuisine.com/recipe/pasta-pesto-sauce Quantity : 2 servings Preparation : 5 min Cooking : 10 min 540 calories/serving Ingredients 160 g linguine 1/3 cup Pesto Sauce 85 mL 3 tbsp pasta cooking water 45 mL 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 15 mL 1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g Before you start Keep the serving dishes in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve. Put a colander in the sink to drain the cooked pasta so that it will be ready when needed. Method Cook the pasta. While the pasta is cooking, put the pesto sauce in a small bowl, then add salt (as per the quantity specified in the Pesto Sauce recipe) and the specified amount of pasta cooking water, which will warm up the sauce and will dilute it a bit. Put the drained linguine back into the pasta cooking pot, add the sauce and extra virgin oil, then mix well. Serve in the warmed dishes.

Pesto Sauce

https://www.soscuisine.com/recipe/pesto-sauce Quantity : 185 ml Preparation : 20 min Ingredients 50 leaves fresh basil 1 1/2 cup 2 cloves garlic 1/4 cup pine nuts 30 g 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 18 g 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 65 mL 1/2 tsp salt, to be added when pouring over pasta 2 g Before you start Only the most tender basil leaves should be used for making Pesto, possibly picked before the plant starts to flower. A blender or food processor will be very useful to make the sauce. A marble mortar and a wooden pestle would be even better, because the metal blades of the blender do affect the taste of the basil, but it will take the cook with traditional utensils too much time to achieve the final result. Method Rinse the leaves briefly only if they are very dirty. Otherwise use a wet towel to clean the leaves, then pat them dry between 2 paper towels. Drop the garlic into a food processor and finely chop it. Stop the motor, add the pine nuts and basil, then process until it ...
