Recipe

Serves 4

1	pound	cooked fusilli pasta, drained
¾–1	cup	pesto sauce, room temperature
~		pasta cooking water
1/4+	cup	pine nuts
~		freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Place the fusilli pasta in a spacious bowl and add ½ cup of the pesto. Toss lightly, adding more pesto as required.
