BLACK CATS PASTA with PESTO SAUCE. 

Shopping around for Halloween items, I found Black Cat Pasta® – cute two-color shapes of cat’s face, body, and paws. Though they are not literally black, cooking such pasta for Halloween may be a good idea. Serving it with green pesto sauce makes it a little bit scarier.  😉

Ingredients:

• 1 package (14oz) Black Cat Pasta®,  pasta with personality!

Sauce pesto:

• ½ cup walnuts
• 3 cups fresh basil leaves or parsley leaves
• 1 garlic clove
• ½ cup olive oil
• Salt, black pepper

Directions:

• Cook pasta for 6-7 minutes
• In a chopper or food processor, finely chop walnuts, garlic, and basil
• Pour olive oil and process until smooth
• Garnish with salt and pepper
