Preparation steps

1.
Combine the garlic, basil, salt, pepper, olive oil and nuts in a food processor and blend until smooth, stopping once or twice to scrape the sides of the container with a rubber spatula.
2.
When mixed thoroughly, pour the basil mixture into a small bowl. Add the grated cheese and butter, and mix by hand with a rubber spatula until the butter and cheese are fully incorporated. Set the pesto aside.
3.
Cook the linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 tablespoon of the water to add to the pesto.
4.
Return the linguine to the pot. Toss half of the pesto and pasta together. Divide between two plates. Garnish with remaining pesto, fresh basil leaves and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
