- Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 bunches Basil
- ½ cup Parmesan (finely grated)
- 0.333 cup Pine nuts
- ⅜ cup olive oil
- 14 ozs dried Tagliatelle
- ¾ cup Fava bean (frozen, thawed)
Preparation steps
1.
In a mixer, blend the garlic, basil leaves, parmesan and pine nuts to a fine purée, gradually adding the olive oil (saving 1-2 tbsp for the pasta water) until you have a fine paste. Season the pesto to taste with salt and ground black pepper.
2.
In a large pan, bring plenty of salted water to the boil with 1 tbsp olive oil. Cook the tagliatelle according to the instructions on the packet until al dente. 2-3 minutes before the end of cooking, add the beans and cook them with the pasta.
3.
Drain the pasta and beans through a sieve and quench briefly in cold water. Return to the pan and stir in around 2 tbsp pesto.
4.
Arrange the pasta and beans on plates and sprinkle with ground black pepper. Serve the remaining pesto on the side.
