1/2 teaspoon freshly chopped or dried marjoram
3/4 to 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 pounds spaghetti or linguine
1/4 cup boiling water in which pasta cooked
Directions
Empty the frozen pesto base into a mixing bowl.
When it is thoroughly defrosted, add the garlic, oil, butter and marjoram.
Stir in just enough cheese until the pesto's color changes from dark green to pea green.
Mix well with a fork.
Cook the spaghetti or linguine in a large kettle in boiling salted water.
Just before it is done ladle the quarter cup of boiling liquid into the pesto mixture; blend well.
This must not be done too much in advance.
