LIGHT LEMON PESTO PASTA
Light, yet full of flavor, this pesto is perfect tossed with hot spaghetti for a quick dinner. It is also excellent as a pizza sauce or smeared on hot French bread. It freezes well to preserve the bounty of summer basil.

BASIL PESTO
This is a wonderful lemon-flavored pesto. This was my first taste of pesto and I've never gone back! Update as of 2/13/04 I'm glad that you all like this. I freeze this now and keep it on hand for my spaghetti sauce or others sauces. It freezes great!

Steps:
- Pesto Directions:
- Put basil leaves and garlic in bowl of a food processor.
- Pulse a few times to combine.
- Add Parmesan cheese and pine nuts; pulse a few more times.
- Scrape mixture into a bowl and whisk in olive oil.
- Add salt and red pepper flakes to taste; stir.
- Lemon Linguine:
- Place shrimp in a non-metal bowl or zipper bag; spoon in half of the pesto to coat. Mix well. Set aside the rest of the pesto for later.
- Place shrimp in the refrigerator to marinate for about 30 minutes. You can also put the shrimp on wooden skewers that have been thoroughly soaked in water.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet or grill pan. Add the shrimp and saute just until it turns pink, about 1 or 2 minutes per side.
- Remove shrimp from pan and cover to keep warm. Shrimp will continue to cook for a minute after you remove it from the heat.
- In a large serving bowl, whisk the 1/4 cup of the lemon juice and olive oil until partially emulsified.
- Add the Parmesan and continue whisking until creamy.
- Toss in the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.
- Adjust the oil-to-lemon ratio by adding more lemon juice, a little at a time, until it is to your taste.
- Add hot pasta to the bowl and toss until well-coated. The heat from the pasta will melt the cheese and help it stick to the linguine.
- Add some cooking water if the pasta seems dry.
- Portion the linguine onto dinner plates; top each with 4 to 6 shrimp.
- Ladle some remaining pesto onto each plate as well.
