Traditional Pesto and Spaghetti

Tasting the pesto that was made in lab made me hungry for more, so for this week I chose to make a simple pesto pasta. The pesto sauce can be found on page 27 and the recipe for spaghetti is on 507 of Bittman. Rather than using the traditional sweet Italian basil, I decided to try Mexican basil. This variety has a much stronger aroma and a sort of spicy flavor. I can now say this was not exactly what I was looking for, but was appetizing nonetheless.With a food processor, this meal can be made in almost no time at all with little work put into it, making it a great choice for a lazy Sunday.
