Elaboración paso a paso
- Fill the pot halfway with water, and a pinch of salt, and bring it to boil. Add pasta and once the water is boiling again, cook for 9-11 minutes (see notes).
- In the meantime, let’s make fresh homemade pesto! Add sunflowers, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic and salt into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. If necessary, add a splash or water. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to make sure ingredients get fully incorporated.
- Once the pasta is ready, drain the liquid, reserving about 50ml of the pasta water.
- Add pesto, and place the pot on medium heat. Stir everything while it heats up. Warning: it smells amazing!
- Taste the dish and add salt and pepper as desired. Finally, serve your pesto pasta topped with fresh basil leaves and enjoy!
