निर्देश

For the pesto: Combine the basil, pine nuts, crushed garlic clove, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a blender or food processor and pulse to make a coarse paste. Scrape down the sides. With the machine running, add 1⁄3 cup olive oil in a steady stream to make a smooth paste. Add the parmesan and pulse to incorporate. Set aside.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the spaghetti.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium- high heat. Add the asparagus and cook, tossing, until bright green, about 2 minutes.

Add the shrimp and season with the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, tossing, until the shrimp is just cooked through and the asparagus is just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and toss, about 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Add the spaghetti, pesto and 1⁄2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the skillet and toss well to coat, adding up to 1⁄2 cup more cooking water if needed. Serve with parmesan.
