Creamy Pesto Pasta


By The Local Cook (Visit website)




Here is a more from-scratch pasta dish. Ahem. I apologize in advance for not having printable versions or nutritional info. Please bear with me while I get my programs back from the great lightning strike/computer massacre.


Source: Simply in Season Expanded Edition (World Community Cookbook)


3T butter


1/4 C four


3 C milk


1 C Pesto (Here’s how to make your own)


1 tsp salt


1/4 tsp ground nutmeg


1 lb spaghetti or other pasta (I used whole wheat)



Melt butter in a large saucepan; add flour, cook 3 minutes (do not brown). Add milk, bring to a boil, and cook gently for 5 minutes.
Stir in Pesto, salt, and nutmeg, and remove from heat.
Meanwhile, cook and drain pasta. Combine with sauce and toss until sauce thickens.

The Verdict: I was a bit nervous when  making this. I was afraid it would turn out soupy and have an overpowering pesto flavor. Surprisingly I loved it! Even DH said “this is good!” Of course, it would have been even better with some grilled chicken.
