Spaghetti with pesto
Ingredients for 4-6 people:
• 1 large bunch of fresh basil • 4 very ripe tomatoes
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 nice piece of parmesan
• olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 1 packet of very good quality spaghetti: Aldente or Rummo
Boil the tomatoes for a few seconds and then pass them under cold water to cool them. This action will allow you to peel them very easily.
Then cut the tomatoes roughly. You have to arrive at a consistency between blended parts and pieces.
Chop the basil then cut the garlic finely.
Take the piece of Parmesan and coarsely chop it: there must be more or less large pieces (do not grate it!)
Mix everything in a small bowl then season with a generous drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper and for the more courageous, a little chili!
Cook your pasta according to the cooking time indicated on the package.
Aldente cooking is always better. Once the pasta has drained, salt, pepper and add olive oil to prevent the pasta from sticking.
Serve the cold pesto on hot pasta!
