This is an easy to make recipe and better than the pesto you buy in the supermarket.
Ingredients:
400 gr of any kind of dried pasta
4 tablespoons of pine nuts
3 garlic cloves
sea salt
handful of fresh basil leaves
2 hands full of fresh rocket leaves
a handful of grated parmesan cheese
olive oil
Directions:
Roast the pine nuts in a frying pan without any oil until they are golden brown. Crush the peeled garlic with some salt. Add the basil and rocket leaves. Leave some rocket leaves for decoration. Crush it all until it is a nice green puree. Crush the roasted pine nuts and add it with the parmesan cheese. Mix it with some olive oil until you have a nice thick sort of sauce. Cook the pasta "al dente" in some salty water. Drain it and put it on plates. Add the pesto and the rest of the rocket leaves and mix it.
