Pesto, pasta and mushrooms











I love pesto and the end of summer is always the right time to use up all those excess basil leaves. This is also a quick supper that tastes great.

Pesto Recipe

  • 175g fresh basil leaves
  • 50g pine nuts, lightly toasted
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 125g grated fresh parmesan
  • 200ml extra virgin olive oil
Combine in a blender and blend to a paste

Pasta
For the pasta dish
Cook 250gms of Fettuccine
Slice and saute 50gms of mushrooms
Combine and stir together with several tablespoons of the pesto
