Directions

+
+

+ Step 1: Preparation
1. Wash the basil leaves + and set aside.

+

+ Step 2: Make the Pesto

6. Add the extra-virgin olive oil, + salt, and pepper to taste, and blend again until smooth.
7. + Squeeze half a lemon into the pesto and adjust seasoning to taste. + Set aside. +

+

+ Step 3: Cook the Pasta

3. While the pasta is still hot, + immediately combine it with the pesto, mixing thoroughly so the + pasta is evenly coated. +

+

+ Step 4: Assemble the Salad
