Pasta And Pesto - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
2 Tbsp. hot water
1/3 c. olive oil
1/8 tsp. white pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. dried sweet basil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 c. minced walnuts
1 Tbsp. (or less) dried parsley
grated Parmesan cheese
pasta noodles cooked according to directions on box

Preparation

Melt butter and combine with all ingredients, except Parmesan, in a small saucepan and warm.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over hot pasta noodles and spoon on pesto sauce (a little goes a long way). This goes well with the Cajun Broiled Chicken.
It's also very good if boiled shrimp is mixed in with the pasta.
Fast and easy.
