Directions
Next, add the grated parmesan cheese and sea salt. Slowly blend in the olive oil, a little at a time.
Season with fresh cracked pepper and additional salt if desired.
To prepare a basic pesto pasta, mix 2 cups cooked whole wheat penne pasta with about 1/2 cup fresh pesto. You can use any type of pasta you like and add fresh diced rotisserie chicken if desired.
Sprinkle with additional grated parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts and fresh basil leaves if desired.
If you can't find pine nuts or just don't want to spend the money, walnuts are a great substitute. Hope you enjoy this.
