Ingredients

16 oz ziti

½ cup mint, fresh

½ cup basil, fresh

1 cup parsley, fresh

2 garlic cloves

2 tbsp capers, drained, rinsed

4 plum tomatoes, chopped

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp red pepper flakes

1 cup olive oil, divided

1 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Preparation

Transfer the mint, basil, parsley, garlic, capers, tomatoes, pepper, red pepper flakes, and ½ cup of the oil into a blender.

Blend in short intervals until the mixture appears to be roughly chopped. Once done, add the remaining oil and blend for 1 minute, which is around how long it should take for the mixture to reach a smooth consistency.

Pour the finished pesto into a large bowl.

Add the pesto onto the pasta and toss until evenly coated.

Top with parmesan cheese and serve.
