Tips:
For a richer flavor, use high-quality olive oil and Parmesan cheese.
If you don’t have a food processor, you can chop the basil, pine nuts, and garlic by hand.
You can use any type of pasta you like, but short pasta shapes tend to hold the sauce better.
If you want a thicker sauce, add more Parmesan cheese or cook the cream sauce for a few minutes longer.
This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated when you’re ready to serve.
