Instructions

  1. Cook pasta al dente.
  2. In the meantime, prepare the pesto. To do this, puree half of the basil and parsley as well as garlic, pine nuts and cottage cheese in a blender (or with the high-speed mixer) until smooth. Then add the remaining basil (keep a few leaves for decoration) and the remaining parsley along with the grated Parmesan, season with salt and pepper and puree again briefly.
  3. Drain the pasta and put it back in the pan. Add the pesto and fold in thoroughly with two forks. Spread the pasta on preheated plates, garnish with basil leaves and serve immediately with a teaspoon of parmesan per serving.
  4. 8 g fat per serving.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
