Step 1

We'll be using a food processor to make the pesto. Put the garlic, pine kernels and some salt in there and process briefly.

Step 2

Add the basil leaves (but keep some for the presentation) and blend to a green paste.

Step 3

While processing, gradually add the olive oil and finally add the Parmesan cheese.

Step 4

Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and cook your tagliatelle al dente.

Step 5

After about 8 to 10 minutes the pasta should be done. Drain it and put it back in the pot to mix it with the pesto.

Step 6

Present the dish with some fresh basil leaves on top.
