Pasta with cream and pesto

My favourite pasta is this quick, simple and richly flavoured pesto cream pasta. I've made it many times, family loves it, friends always ask for the recipe. The ingredients are always to hand and the basil adds a real burst of flavour to an otherwise simple pasta. Really worth a try!

Directions

15 min.
1. Step

Put the pasta to boil in plenty of water with a tablespoon of salt. Be careful not to overcook the pasta, it should be 'al dente', which means slightly \ropogósós\, not overcooked. It's just about ready to eat, but still holds its shape. This will make the final result much tastier.

2. Step

Meanwhile, in a large pan, add a little olive oil and the finely chopped garlic. Season with salt and pepper and fry until golden brown, stirring constantly. It is important not to burn the garlic, as it will make the pasta bitter.

3. Step

When the garlic is ready, add the pesto and mix with the cream. It will be a wonderful, creamy and tasty sauce, topped with a big dollop of fresh basil at the end.

4. Step

When the pasta is done, drain it and toss it in the sauce in the pan. It is best served hot, as this brings out the full flavour. Top with a little more fresh basil and you're ready to serve. This quick, simple but heavenly pasta is sure to impress everyone!
