Spaghetti with Basil Pesto

Once i saw the YouTube video from Laura Vitale making pasta linguine with pesto i immediately had to try it. I tried it for the first time and i loved it!! Well,  i was using spaghetti instead of linguine because i didn't have a chance to go to a grocery store but it worked just fine for me.

Ingredients:
For the pesto
2 cups fresh basil
3 tbs pine nuts, toasted in the oven
1 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
1 tbs lemon juice
2 cloves small garlic
1/2 cup virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
Salt and pepper

Other ingredients
500 gr spaghetti
Salt
Freshly grated parmesan

1. Fill a cooking bowl with water, sprinkle in some salt and bring it to boil. Add pasta and cook it until al dente.
2. In a food processor add all the pesto ingredients except the parmesan, process until smooth and stir in the parmesan.
3. Drain the cooked pasta, bring it back to the cooking bowl and immediately pour in the pesto with a little bit of cooking water, stir until well combined.
4. Sprinkle some of grated parmesan on top of every portion and serve it.
