A classic dish from Liguria, simple and fragrant. The fusilli hold the pesto perfectly, which with its intense basil aroma and the delicate flavor of pine nuts brings the authentic taste of Italian cuisine to the table. A quick yet elegant first course, ideal for any occasion.
Bring a pot of abundant salted water to a boil and cook the fusilli al dente following the times indicated on the package.
Drain the pasta, reserving a ladleful of the cooking water.
Transfer the fusilli to a pan or a large bowl and mix them with the Pesto alla genovese. Add some of the cooking water if necessary to make the sauce creamier and more coating.
Transfer to plates, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and finish with a few fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately, piping hot.
