List of Ingredients

1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons garlic
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup cream
1 pound cooked pasta


Recipe

Combine basil, pine nuts or walnuts, and garlic in a food processor process until finely chopped. With motor running, add oil in a thin-steady stream process until thickened. Add 1/2 cup parmesan and mix well. If making pesto ahead: top with a layer of olive oil, cover, and chill for up to 3 days. Heat cream in a heavy saucepan, over a medium flame. Bring just to a boil and whisk in pesto sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Combine sauce mixture with pasta and remaining parmesan cheese - toss to mix well. Arrange onto a serving platter. Serve hot.
