Ingredients
1 lb Dried Capellini 
1 Cup Prepared Pesto 1 8oz Deli Cup Fresh Perlini ¼ Cup Toasted Slivered Almonds ¼ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil Salt Method This is a very simple dish that can be prepared in about 15 minutes. Of course, your own home-made pesto is always better than store bought. But there are some very high grade pestos available at the market. I choose the ones that bill themselves as Pesto rather than Pesto Sauce. Start by cooking Capellini in a pot of rapidly boiling salted water. While pasta is cooking, take the pesto and put into saucepan with the olive oil. I always like to add a little olive oil to my store bought pest to just loosen things up a bit. Put on the stove over low heat – only enough to just barely heat the pesto. When pasta is finished cooking, drain in a colander and add to pesto along with just a bit of reserved cooking water. Toss with sauce and plate, finishing with the almonds and Perlini. |
