cucinando!

ok so now i will explain to the best of my memory the pasta and pesto recipe

for the pasta:
whatever pasta you use, boil the water first. then once to a boil put the pasta in for about 8 minutes. it shouldn't be mushy but shouldn't be hard. you can check with some pastas by cutting it in half and looking if the center is kind of white while the outside is yellowish. also its important to stir because this way the pasta won't stick together to each other and have hard parts between two pieces of pasta.

now for the pesto:
take lots of fresh basil leaves (parents this could be from the garden since there is so much!)
oil
pine nuts
garlic
blend to a good consistency.. i dont know how to describe the consistency.
then put in bowl and put in pasta and mix
yumyum!
