A classic dish from Liguria, simple and fragrant. The fusilli hold the pesto perfectly, which with its intense aroma of basil and the delicate taste of pine nuts brings the authentic flavor of Italian cuisine to the table. A quick yet elegant first course, ideal for any occasion.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fusilli until al dente following the time indicated on the package.
Drain the pasta, reserving a ladleful of the cooking water.
Transfer the fusilli to a pan or a large bowl and mix them with the pesto alla genovese. Add a little of the cooking water if necessary to make the sauce creamier and help it coat the pasta.
Place on plates, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and finish with a few fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately, hot.
