Two plates of shrimp pasta with rich tomato sauce, garnished stylishly.

Method

  1. Gather and prep everything first: dried pasta, olive oil, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
  2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the garlic in a little butter until translucent.
  3. Turn the heat up, add the pesto, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
  4. Stir in the olive oil along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Taste and adjust, then finish with a squeeze of lemon right before serving.
  6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
