Preparation

Wash the basil, let it drain and finish drying with a cloth, tear off the leaves and chop them very often.

Peel the garlic and chop fine and then crush them in the mortar with a pinch of salt.

Add the pine nuts and continue pounding. To prepare the pasta, put in a pot abundantly salted water with a little oil. When boiling introduce the spaghetti by sliding them through the wall of the pot, stir and let cook until al dente.

Drain the spaghetti and reserve a cup of cooking water. Mix the cheese in a bowl with olive oil, basil and the pasta that we previously prepared in the mortar.

To finish our spaghetti al pesto add to the cheese sauce the water necessary to obtain a soft, but thick cream. Use the reserved water from cooking the pasta. Mix the pasta and the sauce in a dish and serve at the moment. You can decorate with cherry tomatoes.
