Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup fresh basil leaf
1/3 cup pine nuts or 1/3 cup walnuts
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/4 cups grated parmesan cheese
1 cup whipping cream
1 lb capellini or 1 lb spaghettini, cooked until al dente
minced basil

Steps:

  • Finely chop basil, pine nuts and garlic in processor.
  • Gradually add olive oil through feed tube and process until smooth; mix in ½ cup Parmesan.
  • Transfer to a small jar (can be made up to 4 days ahead - make on the weekend to enjoy a quick, mid-week meal. Pour enough olive oil on surface of pesto to inhibit exposure to air).
  • Bring cream to boil in medium saucepan; whisk in pesto.
  • Season to taste.
  • Combine pasta, sauce and remaining 3/4 cup Parmesan in large bowl.
  • Toss to coat evenly and serve sprinkled with some minced basil.
  • Note: If you want this 'saucier' you can add a little milk to wet the pasta.

This pasta dish was a complete waste of time and money. The Alfredo sauce was watery and the pesto sauce was bitter. The sun-dried tomatoes and spinach were also tough and chewy. I would never make this dish again.

I tried this pasta dish and it was a disaster! The Alfredo sauce was curdled and the pesto sauce was too oily. The sun-dried tomatoes and spinach were also wilted and tasteless. I would not recommend this dish to anyone.

This pasta dish was just okay. The Alfredo sauce was a bit bland and the pesto sauce was too overpowering. The sun-dried tomatoes and spinach were also a bit too salty. I wouldn't make this dish again.

This pasta dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but I can see why others would enjoy it. The Alfredo and pesto sauces were very creamy and flavorful, but the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach didn't really do much for me. I would probably try this dish

I'm not usually a fan of Alfredo sauce, but this dish was amazing! The pesto sauce balanced out the richness of the Alfredo, and the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach added a nice touch of flavor. I would definitely make this dish again.
