White Pesto with Oregano Spaghetti

Serves 4 Prep Time 10 minutes   Cook Time 10 minutes   Rated:

When my kids were little there was nothing they liked more than a big bowl of cheesy pasta with just a dash of cream and a mere sniff of garlic for flavour. This dish is a salute to those days but a bit more of a grown up version. You could serve this to any adult and they would be pretty darned happy I think. Add more cheese to taste, it is easy to plus it up to feed more or minus it down to feed less. Enjoy kids...and big kids too!
