Ingredients:

• 8 oz pasta
• 1/4 cup carrots, finely chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 2 zucchinis, diced
• A handful of fresh basil leaves 🌿
• 2 tbsp pine nuts
• Olive oil – for that golden touch 🫒

• Grated Parmesan cheese – because, why not? 🧀

Instructions:

PESTO:

1. First things first, assemble your squad of ingredients. Place them in the bowl of a food processor – garlic, basil leaves, pine nuts, and a drizzle of olive oil.
2. Blitz it up until you’ve got a smooth, vibrant green pesto. Pro tip: use a rubber scraper to scrape down the sides occasionally for that perfect consistency.
3. Feeling adventurous? Here’s a twist – throw in 3/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese into the mix for an extra cheesy kick! 🎉

PASTA:

1. Now, onto the pasta party! Boil a large pot of water – we’re talking bubbling excitement here.
2. Cook the pasta until it hits that sweet spot of al dente perfection.
3. While the pasta is dancing in hot water, don your chef hat and prepare the pesto. Once ready, set it aside, covered, like a culinary secret waiting to be revealed.
4. Steam those carrots until they’re as tender as your heart after a heartwarming meal.
5. In a sizzling skillet, heat up a generous amount of olive oil – let the aroma tease your taste buds.
6. Introduce the zucchinis and peapods to the party, stirring continuously until they hit that sweet spot of crisp-tenderness. 🌽
7. When the pasta is ready to shine, drain it well. Now, toss it generously with the vibrant pesto until each noodle is coated in green goodness.
8. But wait, there’s more! Toss in those delightful steamed carrots and the sautéed zucchinis and peapods. Let the flavors mingle and dance in harmony.
9. Garnish the masterpiece with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper – for that extra kick – and a shower of Parmesan cheese because we believe in abundance! 🌶️🧀

VARIATIONS:

• Feeling cheesy? Add 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese directly into the pesto for an extra layer of indulgence. 🧀

There you have it, the Pasta Al Pesto symphony – a melody of flavors, a dance of textures, and an explosion of colors on your plate. Get ready to savor every bite of this culinary masterpiece! 🎶🍝✨
