Pesto Pasta
Saturday, 4 September 2010
I’ve eaten this twice in the last while, nyom. You can either do it the lazy way and get the Knorr quick meal thingies (red sachets that you just empty into a pot, add water and boil for 5 minutes) or make it from scratch.
To make from scratch:
- Cook some pasta like normal until it’s just slightly harder then you’d normally eat it. Very slightly. Pour the water off but keep a cupful of it, and throw the cupful of water and the pasta back into the pot.
- Grate a large handful of parmesan cheese.
- Empty about 3/4 of a small jar of pesto into the pot (I’m not sure how big the small jars are – they’re about 2 inches tall).
- Put the heat back on and stir it in. Throw on the cheese and stir that in.
- When the water has mostly boiled off and everything’s mixed fully, it’s ready.
Goes great with garlic bread. Never thought I’d put cooking guides up here.
