Orlando Bloom'S Pasta Au Pistou - cooking recipe

Ingredients

450 g spaghetti
1 bunch fresh parsley
1 cup fresh basil
4 garlic cloves
6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can tomatoes, drained
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Preparation

Cook the pasta according to directions until al dente, then drain and rinse. Pour the pasta back into the saucepan, and replace the lid to keep warm.
In a blender or food processor, combine the parsley, basil, garlic, Parmesan, salt and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Process to a smooth paste.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a medium frying pan. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes or until soft.
Add the tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and season, adding the brown sugar and cook for about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the herb mixture. Toss the pasta with the sauce and serve immediately.
