Pesto pasta with Cashew
#italian
Generally pesto pasta is made with spaghetti pasta but I make with Penne or Fusilli as its readily available and when I don't have the pine nuts ( the costliest nut in the world ) I use cashew nuts and customize it as per my taste buds. Thank God Fresh Italian Basil is readily available nowadays.

Creamy Pesto Pasta Sauce Creamy Pesto Pasta Sauce
A great sauce for any pasta or anything else you like to use pesto for (sorry for the bad photo, it really is delicious!). The balsamic vinegar in this recipe pairs well with dishes that contain tomatoes. Goes excellent with the Sun-dried Tomato Pasta - See my recipe here: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/271714-sun-dried-tomato-pasta-doughMakes enough for 4 servings of pasta.Recipe from an "Infused Pasta" cooking class I took at the Seasoned Farmhouse in Columbus, Ohio by Chef Tom Hughes.Notes: You can use any other green herbs or leafy greens in place of basil. You can also substitute any nut in place of the pine nuts. Almonds are the closest flavor to pine nuts, but cheaper.

Homemade Pasta & Basil Pesto Homemade Pasta & Basil Pesto
This is basically only made with flour, but has a lot of eggs for a chewy texture! Children also have fun making these noodles. It takes some work, but it's definitely worth it! You can also mix these noodles with a shrimp wine sauce, grilled chicken, etc.Knead well until the dough becomes elastic. The amount of flour used when rolling out the dough is really important. If you leave the dough overnight, take it out of the refrigerator early so that it can return to room temperature before rolling it out. Recipe by Jay to Gon -
