The Easiest Gourmet Pasta to Impress

Here is the most incredibly simple recipe you could imagine that will leave your guests with the impression that you are quite the gourmet chef.

It is a unique dish in that the pesto is not traditional and is not sold in your usual supermarket; however, it is so easy to make.

Ingredients:

1) Pasta noodles; I recommend angel hair or linguini

2) Roma or cherry tomatoes

3) 3 table spoons olive oil

4) 1.5 cups fresh dill

5) 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

6) 2 tablespoons pine nuts (optional)

--Using a blender or food processor, mix all pesto ingredients except for olive oil and cheese 

--Once minced, add oil and cheese and continue mixing until blended

--Refrigerate

--Make pasta noodles and drain

--Cut tomatoes

While noodles are still warm:

--Add chicken or shrimp (optional) to noodles

--Add tomatoes to noodles

--In small amounts slowly stir in dill pesto until you have reached your desired flavor
