Ingredients

11.5 oz gluten free/wheat free spaghetti
1 cup Citrus Pesto 250 mL
1/4 cup pasta cooking water 2.2 fl.oz

Before you start

Keep the serving dishes in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.

Put a colander in the sink to drain the cooked pasta so that it will be ready when needed.

Method

  1. Cook the pasta.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, put the Citrus Pesto in a small bowl, then add the specified amount of pasta cooking water, which will warm up the sauce and will dilute it a bit.
  3. Put the drained spaghetti back into the pasta cooking pot, add the pesto sauce, then mix well. Serve in the warmed dishes.
