Linguine with Rocket Pesto

Linguine with Rocket Pesto


serves 4

I have given the quanaties to make 4 serves, but the pesto will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week and its great on some grilled bread topped with tomatoes and mozzarella. Dean is in London on business, so this was a quick meal to put together for the kids and myself. The pepper flavour from the rocket and the sharp saltiness from the cheese is a great combination.


Ingredients

3 tbs pine nuts toasted
100g rocket
3 cloves garlic
70g Parmesan
100ml olive oil
squeeze lemon juice
400g linguine

Method

Place all the ingredients, except for the pasta in a food processor and blend until you have a smooth paste.
Cook the linguine in salted boiling water until al dente.
Drain and stir through the pesto top with extra rocket and pine nuts.
