Directions
- Combine the basil, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil and garlic in a food processor till finely minced. Transfer to a bowl and fold in the cheeses and black pepper. (This sauce does not call for salt because of the saltiness of the cheeses used.)
- In a large pot, bring 5 qts of water to a boil. Add in about 1 Tbsp. of salt. Add in the pasta and stir frequently till al dente (about one or possibly two min less than the cooking time recommended on the package). Drain the pasta, reserving 3 ounces of the cooking water.

- Comments: Remember, pesto can be applied to any shape of pasta you like, and it's also excellent in many soups. In fact, the possibilities for using pesto are endless!
