      When you’re in search of a simple yet delicious dish to prepare for date night that takes less than 30 minutes to prepare, this one-pan pasta is bound to impress!

      Method

      1. Blitz the pine nuts, garlic, and Parmesan in a food processor until a fine crumb forms.

      2. Add the basil leaves, lemon juice, and olive oil, pulsing several times until a thick pesto comes together. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

      3. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water until al dente, approximately 10-12 mins.

      4. Drain when ready. Return to the pain and stir in the pesto by the tablespoon until the pasta is coated. 

      5. Divide between plates and garnish with basil leaves.

      Enjoy!
