Serves: 4
 

Ingredients:

4 ounces cream cheese
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves -- packed
2 tablespoons fruity olive oil
1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese -- grated
2 3/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt and pepper -- freshly ground
4 ounces cream cheese
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves -- packed
2 tablespoons fruity olive oil
1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese -- grated
2 3/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt and pepper -- freshly ground
 

Preparation:

In a food processor puree the cream cheese, the garlic, the basil, the oil, the parmesan, the milk, and salt and pepper until the pesto is smooth. In a kettle of salted boiling water, cook the linguine until it is al dente. Ladle out and reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, drain the linguine, and transfer it to a heated serving bowl. Add enough of the reserved cooking water to the pesto to thin it to the desired consistency (if needed), and toss the linguine with the pesto.
