Fettuccine with Paul's Basil Pesto
Fresh, fragrant, and full of flavour, Fettuccine with Paul’s Basil Pesto is a quick and delicious pasta dish that celebrates the simple beauty of quality ingredients. Otway Pasta Company’s silky fresh fettuccine is gently coated in Paul’s signature pesto and finished with a splash of cream for an irresistibly smooth, herbaceous sauce.
Toasted pine nuts add a delicate crunch, while a bit of reserved pasta water helps the sauce cling perfectly to every strand. Finished with parmesan and fresh basil, this dish is a go-to for busy nights when you want something nourishing and delicious with minimal effort. Light, creamy, and loaded with basil goodness—it’s the kind of pasta that’s always a good idea.
