1. Whip up a batch of our homemade keto pesto!
2. Bring 8 cups water to a rolling boil and add enough salt so it tastes like the ocean (about 1 1/2 tablespoons).
3. Add gnooda and stir immediately. Cook for 5-8 minutes (p.s. expect a bit of foam!), strain, return to pot and add in the pesto. Now, to keep your pasta nice 'n saucy with 'drier' sauces such as pesto, I *highly* suggest mixing in a tablespoon or two of warm water. Serve right away with freshly grated parmesan and ribonned basil.
4. Top tip: feeling a little extra?! Get creative with the toppings of your pesto pasta and add grilled chicken and cherry tomatoes!
