Pesto Pasta — Italian recipe
Pesto Pasta, photographed for the Kitchen Pantri cookbook.

Pesto Pasta

Spaghetti tossed with a quick homemade basil pesto of pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic and lemon, loosened with starchy pasta water so it coats every strand in a light, creamy sauce instead of sitting oily on the plate. The pesto blends while the pasta boils.
