JUICY PESTO PASTA!



JUICY Pesto Pasta! image

Recipe video above. This is how to make a great pesto pasta that's slick with pesto sauce without adding tons and tons of oil which makes it overly oily. The secret is using the pasta cooking water - it emulsifies with the oil in the pesto which makes it cling to every strand of pasta. A technique used in every Italian household! Make this with homemade pesto for the best flavour.

Categories     Mains     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 quantity homemade pesto ((Note 1))
300 - 350 g / 10 - 12 oz pasta of choice ((ziti, penne and spaghetti are my favourites, Note 2))
2 tsp salt
3/4 cup pasta cooking water
Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to the boil with the salt.
  • Add pasta and cook for the length of time per the packet.
  • Just before draining, scoop out 1 cup of of the pasta cooking water.
  • Drain pasta in a colander, leave it for a minute.
  • Transfer pasta to a bowl (do not use pasta cooking pot, too hot).
  • Add pesto and 1/4 cup of pasta water. Toss to coat pasta in pesto, adding more water if required to make pasta silky and saucy, rather than dry and sticky.
  • Taste, add more salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parmesan.
