Pasta with Pesto Cream Sauce

I love pesto, and we have basil growing in our garden. So what other time can somebody make pesto pasta? When basil is fresh! Since the time is "fresh basil time", here is the recipe:

Pasta with Pesto Cream Sauce
Serves 6-8 people

3/4 cup of basil leaves
3/4 cup of grated parmesan
2 garlic cloves, peeled
Salt and pepper
1/3 cup of olive oil, more if needed
1/2 cup of heavy cream
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
12 ounces of pasta, fusilli
2 roma tomatoes, diced

Put the basil, garlic, 1/2 cup of the parmesan, and salt and pepper to a food processor. While blending it, add olive oil, until the texture is somewhat smooth.

Get a saucepan out, and heat it to medium high heat, add the butter, and the heavy cream, until the butter is melted. Pour the pesto in, and stir and simmer it for a few minutes. At the end dump in the rest of the parmesan, and stir it together.

Drain the pasta, and put it in a large bowl. Pour on the pesto sauce, and throw in the tomatoes. Stir it together, and serve! Delicious! Serve with some extra cheese on top.
