Linguini w/ Mint Pesto

When I’m looking for something quick and easy I always have some pesto in the fridge so this dish comes together in less than 5 min. And it is so delicious….

Prep List

• Basil x handful

• Mint x handful

• Pine Nuts x 1/4 cup, toasted

• Parmesan cheese x 1/4 cup, grated + more for serving

• Olive oil x 1/2-3/4 cup

• Kosher salt to taste

• Black pepper to taste

• Linguini x 1-2 portions

Recipe

• In a blender or food processor combine all ingredients. Use as much olive oil as you would like to reach desired consistency.

• Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to boil and add linguini pasta to cook for the amount specified on the instructions.

• Once ready, remove and drain the pasta reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water in the pot. Add the pasta back to the pot with a generous amount of the pesto sauce. Cook until creamy and slightly reduced. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with a generous amount of Parmesan cheese.
