This recipe was the product of my twisted brain. I was menu planning and the idea of adding lemon to pesto just burst into my consciousness and I have to say…it was quite yummy
1 lrg bunch of basil
3/4 cup of marscapone
3 tbsp of pine nuts
3 tbsp of olive oil
1/2 tsp of kosher salt
1 tsp of lemon zest
10-15 Jumbo Prawns
Spaghetti noodles
Parmesan cheese
In a food processor blend basil with pine nuts and salt, slowly drizzle in olive oil. When well blended add the lemon zest and marscapone cheese. Prepare your noodles as the package directs and in a frying pan sear the prawns with a little olive oil and let them cook until they are 3/4 way cooked. Top with the pesto then cover the pan, remove from heat, and let sit 5 minutes. Mix with pasta and serve. Top with freshly shaved Parmesan cheese
