Instructions

1. Prepare testaroli and basil pesto using the ingredient quantities listed above.
   
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt, then turn off the heat.
   
3. Add the testaroli and let them sit in the hot water for 1–2 minutes. Then drain gently. Be careful not to overcook them — they may fall apart and turn into a floury soup!
   
4. Serve the testaroli dressed with the basil pesto and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
