A delicious meal of smoked trout with pasta in a cheese and pine nut pesto.

Servings

2 medium garlic cloves
2 cup fresh basil , tightly packed
1 oz pine nuts , toasted
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp cold water
4 tsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese , divided
10 oz whole-wheat pasta , linguine or other pasta (to yield 2 cups cooked pasta)
2 oz Fish, trout, rainbow, cooked, FDA , smoked; boneless
1 pinch black pepper (optional)

1 Pulse the garlic in a food processor until it is finely chopped. Then, add the basil, pine nuts, lemon juice, and water and process to a puree.
2 Add the olive oil and 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese and pulse until the pesto is smooth, occasionally scraping down the side of the bowl as necessary. Set aside.
3 Cook the pasta according to the package directions, and while it is cooking, flake the smoked trout. After the pasta is cooked, pulse the pesto to make sure it has remained blended, then toss the pesto and trout with the pasta.

It is possible to substitute fresh parsley for the fresh basil, but if you do, add some dried basil to supplement the flavor as well.
