STEP BY STEP

Let’s make something good.

  1. Cook the spaghetti in boiling water according to its pack instructions. Save a mug of the cooking water before draining.
  2. Blend the basil, pumpkin seeds, garlic, olive oil, & lemon juice into a coarse pesto.
  3. Put the warm pasta back in the pan, off the heat. Add the pesto & tomatoes.
  4. Toss with a splash of the reserved cooking water until the sauce coats the pasta. Add pepper & serve.

A little kitchen note

Keep a few basil leaves to scatter over the bowl. Check the pasta label for allergens & use a suitable alternative if needed.
