CREAMY PESTO
This is a fairly simple recipe I came across years ago. It is divided into two parts, the pesto and an Alfredo sauce, and then the two are mixed together! Serve over hot pasta. Have fun with the pasta - some of our favorites for this are penne and farfalle (bow tie).

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat.

- Keep the skillet off the heat to cool a bit while you prepare the shrimp.
- Toss the prepared (peeled and deveined) shrimp in a couple pinches salt and pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Steps:
- Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil, cook pasta to al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1/3 cup of pasta water and drain pasta.
- While pasta is cooking, in a food processor add the basil leaves, garlic cloves, pine nuts, cheese, salt/pepper. Pulse until all ingredients are chopped.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. (To stop here and store pesto, see note #5)
- In a large skillet with high walls over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter, add in the pesto, and stir to combine.

- Wipe excess oil from the saute pan, and keep heat on. (Since pesto already has oil, I don't use additional oil to cook pesto.) Add pesto and heat until warm through (about 2-3 minutes). Don't cook for long or pesto turns very dark and does not taste fresh.
- Add cooked pasta, half of the parmesan cheese, then coat pasta in the pesto-cream sauce gently.

- Cook the pasta in plenty of well-salted boiling water. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of pasta water to thin the sauce at the end. Drain the pasta, then set aside.
- Place the empty saucepan back on the stove. Add the pesto, cream and 1/3 cup grated parmesan. Bring the sauce up to the boil and whisk to incorporate evenly. Tip the pasta in and toss together. Add as much of the reserved cooking water to the pasta as you think it need. The sauce should be loose and creamy, although the consistency depends on personal preference. Three quarter to one cup should be ample. Bear in mind that the pasta will continue to absorb the sauce, even after you remove it from the heat.
- Serve immediately with plenty freshly ground black pepper, extra parmesan and maybe a drizzle of your favourite olive oil.

- Bring 1.5 litres of water to a boil, add the pasta, salt and olive oil and stir through. Cook as per packet instructions or to al dente texture.
- Reserve 1/3 cup of cooking water liquid, whether you use the Instant Pot or Stovetop method and strain the pasta.
