Genuine Calabrian Pesto Pasta

Ingredients:

  • 400g pasta (preferably linguine or trofie)
  • 4 tablespoons genuine Calabrian pesto
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ripe tomato, diced
  • 50g toasted almonds, coarsely chopped (optional)
  • Grated pecorino cheese, to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: While the pasta cooks, gently heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced tomato and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until they soften slightly.
  3. Add the Pesto: Turn off the heat and add the genuine Calabrian pesto to the tomatoes in the pan, stirring well to combine the ingredients. If the pesto seems too thick, you can add a little pasta cooking water to make it creamier.
  4. Combine the Pasta: Drain the pasta al dente, reserving one cup of the cooking water. Transfer the pasta to the pan with the pesto sauce and mix well to combine everything. If needed, add the cooking water little by little to achieve the desired consistency.
  5. Plate: Divide the pasta among serving plates. Garnish with the chopped toasted almonds (if using) and a generous sprinkle of grated pecorino cheese.
  6. Decorate and Serve: Decorate with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.

This genuine Calabrian pesto pasta is a simple yet flavorful dish, perfect for bringing a touch of Calabria to your table with fresh and authentic ingredients. Enjoy your meal!
