Tis the season for pine nuts. Yum! You can grab some at the store or from the guy that sets up in some of the parking lots around Southern Utah. Those are fresh!
The ingredients are simple and you just blend them all together for a delicious sauce that just needs warmed through and you are ready to eat.

Creamy Pesto Pasta Recipe-
Ingredients:
6 servings of your choice of pasta- cooked and strained reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water
2 cups of fresh basil
2 tablespoons of toasted pine nuts
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of grated parmesan
6 tablespoons of olive oil

Instructions:
Mix all ingredients in a food processor
Add reserved 1/2 cup of starchy pasta water with your cooked pasta and add 1/4 cup of heavy cream and pesto mixture to a pan and stir together over medium heat until all ingredients are incorporated well.
Add a dash of red pepper flakes
Add salt and pepper to taste
Brighten it up with a squeeze of fresh lemon
Add ribbon sliced basil, chives and parsley for garnish and top with more shredded parmesan.

You can take it to another level and add ingredients like grilled chicken or shrimp or steamed broccoli and kale. You can also add another dimension of flavor by sprinkling on smoked paprika or chili powder. Delicious! Enjoy!
