Spaghetti Pasta in Basil Pesto Using Archana’s Kitchen 100% Durum Wheat Spaghetti Pasta
To begin making Spaghetti Pasta Recipe in Basil Pesto Sauce, fill a large pot with water and bring it to boil.
Add the pasta to the boiling water along with some salt and cook the pasta in the boiling water.
Cook until the pasta is al dente (just cooked with a firm bite) , this will take about easy 10-12 minutes of your time.
Drain the boiled pasta in a colander and rinse with cold water. Rinsing with cold water is an important step to stop the cooking process of pasta so it will continue to have a firm bite and remain “Al Dente”.
Once done, drizzle some olive oil on top and set aside until required.
In to a blender, add basil, walnuts, garlic, salt, cumin powder, chilli powder, water and olive oil. Blend all of the ingredients together to get a smooth basil pesto.
Into a wok, add 1 tablespoon of oil, add the cream, milk, basil pesto sauce, the cooked pasta, black olives and sauté on high heat until all the pasta it coated with the sauce, for about 4 to 5 minutes.
Check the salt and pepper and adjust to suit your taste.
