Ingredients:


4 ounces cream cheese

4 cloves garlic chopped

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves -- packed

2 tablespoons fruity olive oil

1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese -- grated

2 3/4 cups milk

1 teaspoon salt and pepper -- freshly ground

4 ounces cream cheese

4 cloves garlic chopped

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves -- packed

2 tablespoons fruity olive oil

1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese -- grated

2 3/4 cups milk

1 teaspoon salt and pepper -- freshly ground
 

Preparation / Directions:


In a food processor puree the cream cheese, the garlic, the basil, the oil, the parmesan, the milk, and salt and pepper until the pesto is smooth. In a kettle of salted boiling water, cook the linguine until it is al dente. Ladle out and reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, drain the linguine, and transfer it to a heated serving bowl. Add enough of the reserved cooking water to the pesto to thin it to the desired consistency (if needed), and toss the linguine with the pesto.
