Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup fresh basil leaf
1/3 cup pine nuts or 1/3 cup walnuts
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/4 cups grated parmesan cheese
1 cup whipping cream
1 lb capellini or 1 lb spaghettini, cooked until al dente
minced basil

Steps:

  • Finely chop basil, pine nuts and garlic in processor.
  • Gradually add olive oil through feed tube and process until smooth; mix in ½ cup Parmesan.
  • Transfer to a small jar (can be made up to 4 days ahead - make on the weekend to enjoy a quick, mid-week meal. Pour enough olive oil on surface of pesto to inhibit exposure to air).
  • Bring cream to boil in medium saucepan; whisk in pesto.
  • Season to taste.
  • Combine pasta, sauce and remaining 3/4 cup Parmesan in large bowl.
  • Toss to coat evenly and serve sprinkled with some minced basil.
  • Note: If you want this 'saucier' you can add a little milk to wet the pasta.

This pasta dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The Alfredo and pesto sauces were both very heavy. I think I would have preferred it with just one of the sauces.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pesto sauce with a sun-dried tomato sauce. It turned out great! The Alfredo sauce and sun-dried tomato sauce were a delicious combination. I'll definitely be making this again.

This pasta dish is so easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can use store-bought Alfredo and pesto sauces to save time. It's a great weeknight meal.

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The Alfredo sauce mellowed out the pesto flavor, and the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach added a nice touch. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pasta turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

Not a fan of the Alfredo and pesto sauce combination. It was too rich and heavy for my taste. The sun-dried tomatoes and spinach were good, though.

Delicious and easy to make! I used store-bought Alfredo and pesto sauces to save time, and it still turned out great. The sun-dried tomatoes and spinach added a nice touch. Will definitely be making this again for my friends.
