Ingredients for Spaghetti in Pesto Sauce:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 5-6 tbsp
Garlic – 4-5 cloves, finely chopped/grated
Pesto – as per personal preference for the quantity of sauce. I used almost all the Pesto I made using about 500 grams of basil. (I prefer my pasta to be more saucy)
Fresh Cream – 6-7 tbsp
Parmesan Cheese – as per preference & for garnish
Spaghetti – 500 grams, boiled
Cherry tomatoes – 7-8 nos., cut into halves
Salt & Pepper to taste
Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 2 tbsp to drizzle on top

Sweet Basil – 500 grams, washed thoroughly
Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 125-150 ml or accordingly lesser as per preference
A big handful of Pine Nuts, dry roasted

Preparation Method for Pesto:
Dry roast the pine nuts lightly in a non-stick pan and keep them aside to cool.
Grind the washed basil in a food processor till coarsely ground and start pouring olive oil slowly in the food processor.

Store the Pesto in refrigerator in an air-tight container with a layer of olive oil on top. Use as & when required.
