    • 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
    • ½ cup pine nuts
    • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil

    • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 (16-ounce) package angel hair pasta

    Cook pasta according to package directions; drain well and transfer to a large bowl. Add desired amount of pesto and chopped tomato, tossing well. Garnish with freshly minced basil.

    Featured Ingredient: Basil

    Basil is most commonly paired with tomatoes, and in the summertime, there isn’t much that can beat a fresh tomato slice with minced basil. Yet basil complements a wide variety of delicious foods. With such versatility, it’s an excellent herb to grow yourself. Not only will doing so be more cost-effective than buying it at the grocery store, but you’ll be able to pick just the amount you want when you need it. Basil can be grown in a small pot on a windowsill inside for several months. For more abundant harvests and variety, grow a few different types it in a container or in a garden bed outside. Basil is a warm weather plant, but it also stores nicely when pureed with water or oil, or turned into pesto, then frozen. For the fullest flavor when using in a hot dish, add fresh basil within the last 5 or 10 minutes of cooking time. Learn how easy it is to grow your own basil.
