Creme Fraiche Pesto - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup fresh basil leaves, or more to taste
1/2 cup creme fraiche
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons diced garlic
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 pinch cayenne pepper
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti

Preparation

Place basil, creme fraiche, Parmesan cheese, garlic, pine nuts, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Puree until pesto is smooth.
Transfer pesto to a saucepan. Cook over low heat until heated through but not boiling, 15 to 20 minutes.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and mix spaghetti into the pesto.
