Made with just a few simple ingredients of garlic, basil leaves, olive oil and parmigiano reggiano.
Your family won’t believe you most of these delicious flavors in a jar, yes I I use one simple product to make this pasta special, it is called “Classico Basil Pesto” and it’s amazing.
Then I add a some fresh parmigiano reggiano and it’s ready to serve in no time at all.
Fettuccine is a type of pasta that has always been very popular in Italy. In fact it’s typically served in every italian restaurant across the globe.
You can always add some sliced chicken breasts to this pasta and or mushrooms if you liked.
They both work well with Basil Fettuccine, however it’s not needed.
I like to make this recipe for those times where I am just craving some good pasta.
Just make sure your using a good quality Fettuccine as it will make a world of difference in how this plate tastes.
Also you can go ahead and fancy this dish up a bit and serve it alongside a nice caesar salad and a glass of white wine.
