EASY BASIL PESTO WITH ALMONDS
Save some money using garden-grown basil and almonds in place of pricey pine nuts. This recipe is easy, fast, and very tasty. Summer on a plate! Serve over warm pasta with a side salad and a nice loaf of bread. I also spread this on toast. If you have left over, put in a small jar and drizzle some olive oil over the top. Keep refrigerated.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Meanwhile, put the watercress and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and blend for a few secs until finely chopped. Add the grated cheese, half the almonds, the olive oil, lemon juice and sugar. Season well, then blend until you have a smooth purée consistency.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh basil and garlic. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will be less intense.
- If you don't have almond butter, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor until they are smooth.
- To make the pesto, simply combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. You can adjust the consistency of the pesto by adding more or less olive oil.
- The beans can be cooked ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to make the dish.
- If you don't have linguine, you can use another type of pasta, such as spaghetti or penne.
- Garnish the dish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
Conclusion:
This linguine with almond pesto and beans is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pesto is flavorful and creamy, and the beans add a boost of protein and fiber. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover beans. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
