Recipe Jenny's Heavenly Creamy Pesto Capellini

Ingredients :

• 1 Pound Capellini Pasta
• 1/2 Cup Salted Butter
• 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
• 1 Cup Grated Parmesean Cheese
• 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 Package Knorr Pesto Mix (Prepare according to directions)
• 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
• 3/4 Cup Filtered Water
• 1 Clove Minced Garlic

Method :

1. In a large pot, boil Capellini Noodles according to box directions. I boil mine al dente in salted water, with about a tablespoon of olive oil.
2. Drain noodles, and toss with some butter and/or olive oil to prevent sticking. Cover noodles and set aside.
3. Pesto Mix: Bring 3/4 Cup water, 1/4 Cup Olive Oil, Knorr Pesto Mix, and 1 Clove of minced Garlic to boil. Stir constantly. Lower heat, and bring to a simmer. Stir occassionally for 5 minutes.
4. In a large, nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
5. Stir in heavy cream, and season with pepper. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, whisking constantly.
6. Stir Parmesan Cheese into cream sauce, whisking until thoroughly mixed. Blend in the pesto, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until thickened.
7. Ladel sauce over the noodles, and enjoy.
8. This dish is also perfect with the addition of grilled or blackened chicken or shrimp. I"ve also garnished with diced roma tomatoes, green onions, sauteed mushrooms and sliced almonds. The possibilities are endless.
