I found this recipe on the back of the box of Heartland Organic Rotini. I have copied the recipe exactly as found on the box. I am sure you can substitute any brand of Rotini. Very easy to make and delicious. Ingredients:
12 ounces rotini pasta (heartland organic) |
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
12 garlic cloves, peeled |
1/3 cup fresh basil leaf, packed |
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted |
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese |
salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste |
1/4 cup romano cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Cook the Rotini according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor combine olive oil and garlic. Blend until the garlic is minced.
3. Add the remaining ingredients with exception of the Romano cheese.
4. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth sauce like paste.
5. Heat a medium size skillet, add the pesto sauce and bring to a simmer.
6. Add the Rotini to the sauce, stir to coat evenly.
7. Heat thoroughly and top each portion with Romano cheese.
8. Serve immediately.
