Pesto Pasta
Fragrant Italian pasta tossed with vibrant homemade basil pesto sauce, garlic, olive oil, and grated parmesan cheese.

Boil penne pasta in salted water until al dente; reserve 0.25 cup pasta water and drain.
In a blender jar, place fresh basil leaves, garlic paste, cashews, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse while slowly drizzling olive oil until a vibrant green pesto sauce forms.
Transfer warm cooked pasta into a serving bowl and fold in the prepared basil pesto.
