Recipe Introduction
This is a good variation of a traditional dish. I use cashews instead of pine nuts because they're much cheaper.
List of Ingredients
2 cups fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano
1/2 cup grated cheese (any kind you have in the fridge)
1/2 cup cashews (or pine nuts, if cheap)
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup olive oil (probably need a little more)Recipe
Combine the basil, cheeses, nuts, garlic, and salt and grind until a paste is formed. Add the olive oil slowly and mix with the mashed basil mixture until well combined.
Prepare pasta in boiling water and drain. Using a hot skillet, place pasta in skillet and add the pesto to the warm pasta. Stir the pesto into the pasta and serve.
