List of Ingredients




1/3 cup pine nuts
6 ounce can good quality tomato paste
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound capellini

Lightly toast the pine nuts in a 350F oven until golden about 5 minutes. To make the sauce, combine the pine nuts with all the other ingredients except the pasta in a medium bowl. Bring a 6 quart pot of water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Before draining the pasta, beat 2 tablespoons of the boiling pasta water into the sauce. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot or drop it into a large bowl. Spoon on the sauce and toss quickly. Makes 4 servings.
