Traditionally, Pesto is made from basil and pine nuts. This recipe offers a simple, though can be tedious, alternative way of making pesto spaghetti. I think this is good for those allergic to nuts. Thanks to my girlfriend for this recipe

By clubs of garlic do you mean the whole BULBS or the individual cloves?

Tips and Notes:
1. As the ingredients used are mostly raw, try to gauge how much your tastebuds can withstand the strong flavors of garlic and parsley. It's better to end up with a bland spaghetti as you can always add more of the ingredients that you think are lacking.
2. To lessen the total cooking time, you can do the mincing while cooking the pasta.
3. Use a heavy blade for the mincing. If you're no good with a knife, use a food processor. If you don't have one, use dried parsley instead.
