4 servings
INGREDIENTS
Viaggio Linguine 1lb
Salt to taste
Viaggio Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 cup
Basil (chopped) 2oz
Viaggio grated Romano 1 ½oz
Pine nuts 0.7oz
Viaggio grated parmesan 3oz
DIRECTIONS
To prepare the Viaggio linguine with pesto, start with the Genovese pesto. To prepare the pesto, wash gently the basil leaves. Put then the peeled garlic in the mortar together with some salt. Begin to pound and, when the garlic is reduced in cream, add the leaves of basil together with a pinch of salt. Then continue pounding the basil leaves till they become creamy. At this point add the pine nuts and start pounding again to reduce in cream. Add the Viaggio grated Romano and Viaggio grated parmesan little by little and add the Viaggio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, stirring continuously. Mix the ingredients well to obtain a homogeneous sauce. Put a pot on the stove and let the water boil, add salt and pour the Viaggio linguine in it. Now put the pesto in a large pan (on medium heat) and and add some of the water that you used to cook the pasta. Mix with a spatula and, as soon as the pasta is ready, add it to the pesto and mix well. Finally, serve your Linguine al pesto, garnish with few leaves of basil.
ENJOY!
