Pesto Fettuccine

This is an excellent recipe. It's super easy and super healthy. This is perfect for the whole family because it's pasta and everyone for the most part loves pasta and the pesto sauce adds protein and vegetable. I promise you your whole family will love it. I had it on St. Patrick's Day (even though I'm not catholic) I thought it was fitting.

Pesto Fettuccine
Salt - as desired
2 cups of fresh tight packed basil
1 cup of extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves of fresh garlic
1 pound of fettuccine
1 cup of Parmesan cheese

Pesto Sauce
Combine the salt, basil, olive oil and garlic in a blender and mix until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes)

Pasta
Meanwhile boil the water and when it comes to a boil add in the pasta. Cook for 8 minutes - stirring occasionally. Drain the pasta. Add in the pesto sauce and then stir in the Parmesan cheese. Stir well and serve.

Yummy!!
