What would a vegetarian blog be without a recipe for pasta with pesto! So here comes my favorite recipe. To make the dish more fulfilling it goes very well together with a bean salad with olives. This is a feast!
Serves 4
400 g spaghetti
1 batch of pesto (recipe below)
1 batch of bean salad (recipe below)
Cook the spaghetti al dente according to the instructions on the package. Mix it with pesto and serve together with the bean salad.
Pesto
10 basil sprigs
40 g pine nuts
60 g Parmesan
1 dl olive oil
