1/4 CUP |
| CHEESE |
1 TBLSP (TO GARNISH) |
METHOD:
- Cook the pasta as per the instructions.
- In a pan, add olive oil and the basil leaves. Half the cherry tomatoes or if using normal tomatoes, cut them lengthwise.
- Saute for a minute. Let the tomatoes be crunchy.
- Add in the pesto and saute for few seconds.
- Add the cooked pasta and mix evenly. Let the pesto be evenly coated with the pasta.
- Garnish with walnut bits.
- Just before serving add the cheese and always serve hot.
NOTE:
- always saute the tomatoes and pesto in a low flame.
- I used penne pasta. You can use Fuseli , spaghetti or any other pasta of your choice.

Congrats dear, that's a great news 🙂 And delicious looking pasta, love the basil pesto creamy pasta any time !!
This was a hit. I cut the recipe in half and used all olive oil since that's what I had. But I only used 1 Tbsp of oil to cut down the fat and made up for it by using about 1/4 cup of the pasta water. I also left out the salt and let people salt it at the table. It made 4 servings. Will definitely make this again.
