  • ½ pack fresh parsley, stalks removed
  • 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
  • finely grated zest and juice of 1 unwaxed lemon
  • 2 tbsp black olive paste
  • 4 tbsp olive oil

Directions

  1. Lightly toast the pine nut kernels in a dry frying pan over a gentle heat until golden brown. Transfer to a food processor with the parsley, garlic, lemon zest and black olive paste. Switch on and drizzle in enough olive oil to form a thick paste. Transfer to a large bowl, stir in the Parmesan and season to taste.
  2. Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions: minutes for fresh and minutes for dried. Drain, reserving a little of the cooking liquid and toss with the olive pesto. Add a little of the cooking liquid so the pasta is well coated in the sauce, check the seasoning and stir in lemon juice to taste. Serve with extra parmesan.
