This yummy pesto works well with the deep rich flavors of whole grain pastas, which I believe need a more substantial pesto.

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnut pieces
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • 2 cups fresh basil leaves, washed and well dried
  • 1 large stem rosemary, leaves removed from stem
  • 10 stems parsley, preferably Italian flat leaf, leaves only
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (yes, that means you can't use that green can of stuff)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound whole grain or whole wheat pasta, cooked according to package directions, 1/2 cup pasta water reserved

Directions
  1. Drop the walnut pieces and garlic into the chute of a food processor with the motor running. When finely minced, stop the processor and add the basil, rosemary and parsley. Using on/off pulses, chop until finely minced. Open the machine and add the cheese and lemon juice, turn the machine on and slowly drizzle the olive oil in through the chute. Turn of the machine; taste and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Once the pasta is done cooking, pour into a large serving dish; add the pesto and toss until well coated, using the reserved pasta water to think as necessary.
