BASIL PECAN PESTO
I prefer the taste of pecans over the pine nuts usually called for in pesto recipes. I developed this recipe over a summer of trial and error and prefer it to all other pesto recipes!

Steps:
- 1. Cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain well, but reserve 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid. Transfer pasta to a large serving bowl; cover and keep warm.
- 2. Meanwhile, process basis, parsley, parmesan cheese, oil, pecans, lemon juice, garlic and salt in a food processor until smooth, scraping down sides if necessary.
- 3. Add pesto and butter to hot pasta ; toss gently until pasta is coated well with pesto. Stir in cooking water 1/4 cup at a time until sauce reaches desired consistency - discarding removing pasta water. Top with garlicy bread crumbs and additional parmesan.
- 4. For breadcrumbs, pulse garlic cloves in food processor until finely chopped or chop by hand. Add bread and lemon zest until coarse crumbs form. Stir in salt and pepper.
- 5. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumb mixture and cook, stirring constantly until golden brown and crispy. Transfer crumbs to a small bowl. Top each plate of pasta with crumbs and additional parmesan cheese.
PASTA WITH CHOPPED PESTO AND PEAS
This pesto doesn't call for a food processor, blender, or mortar and pestle - and it's better for it. Instead, all of the elements are chopped and mashed together by hand. (Pesto means "to pound, crush or smash" in Italian.) In Tuscany, this would be done with a half moon-shaped mezzaluna, but a chef's knife does the job, too. The result is a more textured mix with bright pops of flavor, like a sauce, herb salad and nut garnish in one. Basil and pine nuts are classic choices, but this version, "I Dream of Dinner (So You Don't Have To)," by Ali Slagle (Clarkson Potter, 2022), was guided by the pesto ratio in "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat" by Samin Nosrat. It works with whatever soft herbs and nuts that you like and have on hand.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a small or medium skillet over medium, toast nuts, shaking the skillet occasionally until browned (try one to see), 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
- As the nuts cool, into a large bowl, grate the Parmesan on the small holes of a box grater (or pulse chunks in a blender).
- Add the garlic clove and a pinch of salt to the pile of nuts and coarsely chop the nuts and garlic together. Add a handful of the herbs and another pinch of salt, and coarsely chop. (Opt for forceful, purposeful chops as opposed to soft, timid ones.) Toss and smash the mixture every few chops. Repeat with the remaining herbs, salting at each step, until a wet, coarse paste forms. Stir into the cheese, then stir in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the peas to the pasta. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain. Add the pasta and peas to the pesto and stir to combine. Add pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce. Season to taste with salt, pepper, more oil and more Parmesan.

Steps:
- Toast the nuts in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until just golden and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
- Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a big pot; lower the skewered garlic into the water, boil for 45 seconds; immediately run the garlic under cold water; remove from the skewer, peel, and mince.
- Place the herbs in a quart-size zip-lock freezer bag; pound with the flat side of a meat pounder until all the leaves are bruised.
- Place the nuts, garlic, herbs, oil, juice, and ½ teaspoon salt into the bowl of a fool processor.
- Process until smooth, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Transfer mixture to a small bowl; stir in the cheese, and adjust seasoning with salt.
- Add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta to the boiling water; cook until al dente; reserve ½ cup of the cooking water.
- Drain the pasta and transfer it back to the cooking pot.
- Mix in ¼ cup reserved cooking water and the pesto; use the remaining ¼ cup cooking water as needed to moisten the sauce.
- Divide among 4 warmed pasta bowls; serve immediately.

- Start a pot of well salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta until it is just al dente (start tasting a few minutes before the package recommends: you want it to be tender but still a little firm on the inside; usually around 7 to 8 minutes). Just before draining, reserve 1 cup pasta water! Then drain the pasta.
- Place the pasta in a bowl (not the pasta pot). Stir together the pasta, pesto, and 1/2 cup pasta water, tossing with tongs until the pesto is well distributed and the pasta water forms a creamy sauce. Add more pasta water if desired. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and taste. If the flavor doesn’t pop, add a few more pinches until it does (the salt content in purchased pesto brands varies, as well as the amount of salt you used in the pasta water). Serve immediately.
- Store any leftovers refrigerated: note that pesto can get gummy when reheated, so it’s best to eat leftovers cold or room temp.
