For Pasta:
Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain, reserving some pasta cooking water.
Toss the cooked spaghetti with a few spoonfuls of lemon pesto, using the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
As a Spread:
Use the lemon pesto as a spread for bruschetta or sandwiches.
Tips:
Lemon Variety: For an authentic taste, use Procida lemons or any organic, untreated lemons.
Nuts: Substitute pine nuts with toasted almonds for a different flavor.
Cheese Substitute: Nutritional yeast is used in place of Parmesan cheese for a cheesy, nutty flavor.
Storage: The pesto can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days in a jar covered with a thin layer of olive oil.
