1. Remove the basil leaves from the stalks (retain the stalks as these add nice flavour to soup or stocks)
2. Add to a food processor
3. Add the chopped garlic
4. Season lightly
5. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle oil into the blender until the desired consistency is achieved
6. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for 12-15 minutes or until ‘al dente’
7. Drain pasta, stir in the pesto while hot adding more olive oil if necessary to achieve the desired consistency

• Adding spinach or kale would be a healthy addition to this recipe
