Basil Pesto Pasta

4.6277 ratings

A bright green, blender-quick pesto of basil, toasted pine nuts, garlic and two cheeses coats short twisty trofie or fusilli. Loosening it with starchy cooking water keeps the sauce silky and vivid rather than oily, and a handful of green beans adds a nod to Liguria.
