MAKE IT

1. Bring a large pot of water or stock to a boil. Season with salt and drop in the pieces of testaroli.

2. Cook the testaroli until tender only a couple minutes. You still want them to have a bite when eating. They should not fall apart on the plate.

3. Drain them with a large slotted spoon and place right onto your serving dish or platter.

4. Slather the testaroli with pesto, drizzles of olive oil, lots of parmesan cheese, and some pignoli nuts for crunch.
