So Simple Pasta


I love this recipe. Literally all you have to cook is the pasta and it taste great. Not a strong flavor but still delicious. Easy to make if you are somewhere with limited supplies, oh say.....a dorm room? (wink, wink)

Linguini with Pesto, Pine Nuts, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

8 oz whole wheat linguini
1/2 c basil pesto (see below for recipe or you can buy from a store)
1/2 c sun-dried tomatoes, diced
1/2 c pine nuts

Cook pasta, drain keeping some of the water. Return pasta to pot and stir in the pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and pine nuts. If pasta seems too dry add some of the pasta water.

Basil Pesto Makes 1 1/3 cup
1/4 c pine nuts
4 cloves garlic
3 c fresh basil
1/4 c vegan Parmesan Cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
3/4 c EVOO

In food processor, or blender, combine the pine nuts and garlic and pulse. Add the basil and pulse. Add the cheese, salt, and pepper and pulse. Slowly add the EVOO, processing until the oil if fully combined.
