Tagliatelle with Pesto with Basso Oil with Garlic aroma

Three ingredients, one symphony. Tagliatelle with fresh pesto and Basso garlic olive oil is a tribute to authentic Italian cuisine: bold flavors, intense aromas, and creamy textures. A perfect dish for those who seek taste and lightness without compromising quality.

The undisputed star: Basso garlic olive oil, a fragrant touch that enhances the basil, binds the pasta, and adds that irresistible note that captivates from the very first bite.

Ingredients (for 2 people)

  • 200 g Fresh tagliatelle made with egg
  • 3 full tablespoons of fresh basil pesto
  • 2 tablespoons of Basso Garlic Olive Oil
  • Grated Parmigiano Reggiano, to taste
  • Coarse salt, to taste
  • Toasted pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tagliatelle until al dente, then drain them, keeping a ladle of the cooking water.
  2. Prepare the dressing. In a large bowl, loosen the pesto with two tablespoons of Basso garlic oil and a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water, until you get a smooth and glossy sauce.
  3. Stir gently until well coated. Add the hot tagliatelle to the pesto and gently stir to coat well. If needed, add a little more oil or a splash of cooking water to make the sauce even creamier.
  4. Serve with style. Serve immediately, finishing with a generous grating of Parmigiano Reggiano and, if you like, some toasted pine nuts for a crunchy contrast.

The chef's special touch

For an extra burst of aroma, add a pinch of grated lemon zest to the pesto: a fresh twist that pairs perfectly with the garlic in the oil.
