Linguine with Garlic Shrimp and homemade Pesto

Pesto:
1 1/2 cups lightly packed basil leaves
1/2 cups toasted pine nuts~~toss/stir in pan for about 5 mins until golden
1/2 c fresh grated parmesan
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Grind basil,pine nuts, parmesan in food processor. Slowly adding the olive oil until a smooth sauce forms. Season with salt and pepper and cover.

Linguine:

9oz fresh linguine
2 garlic cloves
20 large shrimp
parm shavings for garnish

Boil water for linguine. While linguine is cooking, cook shrimp in olive oil and garlic. Stir the pesto into the shrimp mixture. Drain the linguine reserving about 1/2 cup water. Toss linguine in large bowl with the shrimp pesto mixture adding enough of the reserved cooking liquid to moisten the sauce so it coats the pasta evenly.

This is freakin wicked. It tastes so very fresh!"
