Did I mention I LOVE pasta already?
Don't know if there is a dish I like more!
And what do I like even better? A delicious pasta dish that I can make in 12 minutes!
Pasta in pesto cream is dreamy and it's so easy to make.
Now, I'll go back a lil bit and I'll be honest .. Not Long ago I made pesto cream pasta for my friends. And it did not turn out the best or as I at least wanted. My friends did like the result. But for me.. if it's not coming out as I want it really bothers me. Especially when it's an easy recipe. So..last week I woke up in the morning with an urge to make pesto pasta again and it turned out just the way I like!
I used almonds for the pesto sauce because that's what I had at home. And I'm going to embrace this recipe forever😅.
To keep things short, let's move to the recipe.
I do not want this post to take longer to read than it takes to make the pasta.
Ingredients:
250g spaghetti or whatever type of pasta you want [half a pack]
20 grams of butter
For the pesto-
Half a bunch of basil [leaves only]
30 grams of Parmesan / Pecorino cheese
40 grams of peeled almonds
2 tablespoons bread crumbs
8-10 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic
Half a teaspoon of Atlantic / Himalayan sea salt
Half a teaspoon of white wine vinegar
1 ice cube
Prep:
Boil water in a large pot.
When the water almost comes to a boil add a teaspoon of salt.
And when the water is boiling add the pasta and cook it for a minute less than the time listed on the package.
Stir the pasta occasionally.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the pesto - grind all the ingredients in a blender until you get a uniform spread.. If the pesto is too thick you can add a teaspoon of cold water.
About a minute before the pasta is ready heat on a pan a small cube of butter and add 3 tablespoons of the pesto and mix. [You can add more pesto to suit your taste]
I keep the remaining pesto in a jar in the fridge and it lasts up to a week.
When the pasta is ready transfer it to the pan with the pesto and add some of the water of the pasta.
Stir for about a minute until a cream is formed that nicely wraps all the pasta.
And this is it...A stunning dish in no time!
Enjoy :)
