Authentic Pesto Pasta with Parmesan
You can make this pesto pasta as easy as you want. Buy the pasta and the pesto. Boil the pasta, drain and smother with pesto. Easy 10 minute dinner. No judgement. I do it the easy way often. But….. in the Gourmet version there’s a little more time involved but your tastebuds will dance a tarantella. (For the curious, that’s an Italian folk dance with lots of spinning and tambourines.) Basically, it’s worth the extra work those times you can afford it. Do you want red sauce or pesto?” he asks from the kitchen. “Aaron?” I try. He smiles. “Yes?” “Pesto,” I say.
