Recipe For Creamy Pesto Pasta
PESTO CREAM SAUCE
Serve this delicious sauce over your favorite pasta for a quick, delectable meal. Do NOT substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream if you want a thick sauce. Heavy cream contains at least 36% milkfat. Half-and-half, just like the name says, is half milk and half cream and is no more than 18% milkfat. If half-and-half is used, the sauce will only be half as thick as it would if heavy cream were used. Also, if the amount of butter is reduced, that will also make the sauce thinner, as butter is 80% milkfat.

EASY CREAMY PESTO
I use pre-made or prepared pesto. Pesto concentrate also works great. Very simple and really tasty sauce. Great over pasta, veggies, and chicken. Enjoy!

- Bring a pot of water to rolling boil. Season with salt. Add pasta and cook as per package directions. While pasta is cooking, heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a saute pan. When oil is hot, add onion strings and cook until brown and caramelized (about 4-5 minutes). Drain on paper towel and set aside.
- Wipe excess oil from the saute pan, and keep heat on. (Since pesto already has oil, I don't use additional oil to cook pesto.) Add pesto and heat until warm through (about 2-3 minutes). Don't cook for long or pesto turns very dark and does not taste fresh.
- Add cooked pasta, half of the parmesan cheese, then coat pasta in the pesto-cream sauce gently.

- Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil, cook pasta to al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1/3 cup of pasta water and drain pasta.
- While pasta is cooking, in a food processor add the basil leaves, garlic cloves, pine nuts, cheese, salt/pepper. Pulse until all ingredients are chopped. On high, slowly pour in the olive oil through the spout. Open and scrape the sides with a spatula to get any leaves that might have been stuck. Blend again and add additional 2 tbsp olive oil. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. (To stop here and store pesto, see note #5)
- In a large skillet with high walls over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter, add in the pesto, and stir to combine. Add in the 3 tbsp of heavy cream and crushed red pepper flakes (optional, if you do not like spicy then omit). Whisk together until the sauce is smooth and fully combined. Lower heat to simmer.
- Add in the cooked/drained pasta into the pesto sauce and using tongs, carefully toss to coat the pasta. Add in 2-3 tbsp of reserved pasta water until the pasta is fully coated with the sauce and silky.
