Walnut Pesto With Rosemary Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Sosousme / All my dishes 1 year, 2 months ago In my opinion whole grain and whole wheat pastas require a more substantial pesto than the standard basil/pine nut affair. This yummy pesto goes great with the rich deep flavors of whole grain pasta. Prep:10m Cook:10m Servings:4	Sosousme
	hearty and flavorful

Does this look good? Yeah! / Nope

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

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, drained, 1/2 cup pasta water reserved

Directions

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 pulse, 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 off the machine, taste and season with salt and pepper.

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 thin as necessary.
