Quick Basil Pesto recipe:
Blend toasted pine nuts (approx. 2-3 spoons), basil leaves (60-65 grams), garlic cloves, pepper and salt with olive oil. Keep olive oil little by little according to consistency.
Measuring Spaghetti: The easiest way is to measure this with the hole in your Spaghetti spoon. In more simpler ways, place the spaghetti between your thumb and pointing finger/index finger. The first joint is a good enough for one person, the second joint is enough for 2 people and the fingertip is enough for 3 people.
For Plating: Just top it off with a little olive oil, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs and finish it with the garnish we’ve prepared.
