📋 Recipe Instructions

1 Cook pasta al dente according to package. Reserve 1 cup pasta water. This keeps the sauce silky and helps it cling to the noodles.

2 Decarb the cannabis at 245°F for 35 minutes on a baking sheet. This activates the THC safely. Work in a well-ventilated area and use oven mitts.

3 Toast pine nuts in a dry pan until golden. This brings out nutty flavor without burning.

4 Infuse 4.5g cannabis into 1/4 cup of the olive oil at 160°F for 45 minutes, then strain. In a food processor, blend basil, toasted pine nuts, parmesan, garlic, and the infused oil until smooth. Add reserved pasta water as needed for creamy consistency.

5 Toss the hot pasta with the pesto. The heat helps the sauce emulsify beautifully.

6 Taste and adjust seasoning. The pasta should be bright, nutty, and perfectly coated.

7 Serve immediately with extra parmesan. The dish should be fresh, aromatic, and balanced. Makes 6 servings.
