Instructions

Cook noodles according to package directions.
Place remaining ingredients in food processor. Process until blended. Serve over warm noodles.
Sprinkle with extra grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Any leftover pesto should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
It’ll keep for up to 5 days; but it never lasts that long in this house. When I made this recipe, I served the whole batch with our pasta and there wasn’t a single bite leftover.
Feeding a crowd? Feel free to double the recipe.
Depending on the size of your food processor, you may need to make it in two batches to ensure everything gets combined.
