Thought of posting it somewhere to get opinion To feed 4 people, we need to scale up the ingredients so everyone gets a generous, satisfying portion. Because ghee is rich and filling, scaling up the pasta and sauce precisely ensures a perfect coat without making the dish too heavy. Part 1: Scaled Up Ghee & Paneer Pesto Prep time: 5 minutes Ingredients for 4 People 3.5 cups fresh basil leaves (firmly packed) ½ cup roasted almonds or cashews (completely cooled) ½ cup paneer (crumbled or finely cubed) ¾ cup ghee (melted, then cooled to room temperature) 3 large garlic cloves 1¼ tsp salt (use 1 tsp if your roasted nuts are already salted) 1½ tbsp fresh lemon juice [1, 2] Instructions Grind the base: Place the cooled roasted nuts, garlic, and salt into a food processor or blender. Pulse until finely ground. Add paneer: Add the crumbled paneer. Pulse a few times until it forms a thick, grainy paste with the nuts. Add basil: Add the fresh basil leaves and lemon juice. Pulse just until the basil is chopped. Stream ghee: Turn the machine on low. Slowly drizzle in the room-temperature liquid ghee in a steady stream until the pesto becomes a smooth, creamy, bright green sauce. Set aside. [3, 4] Part 2: Tangy Tomato Pesto Pasta Cook time: 15 minutes Ingredients for 4 People 450g to 500g (1 standard box / approx. 5 cups) Penne or Fusilli pasta 2 cups cherry tomatoes (left whole) OR 2 large regular tomatoes (diced) 1½ tbsp ghee or butter (for cooking the tomatoes) A pinch of salt and black pepper Optional: Chili flakes for heat Instructions Boil the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your penne or fusilli. Cook according to package instructions until al dente (usually 9–11 minutes). [5] Save pasta water: Just before draining, scoop out 1 full cup of the starchy pasta water and set it aside. You will need more water now to mix into the larger batch of pasta. Drain the pasta. [6, 7] Sear the tomatoes: While the pasta cooks, heat 1½ tablespoons of ghee or butter in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and a pinch of salt. If using cherry tomatoes: Cook for 3–4 minutes until they blister and wrinkle. If using diced tomatoes: Cook for 2 minutes just until they soften slightly. Turn off the heat. Toss together (Off the heat): Put the hot, drained pasta back into its empty pot off the stove burner. Add all of your green pesto and about ½ cup of the reserved warm pasta water. Stir vigorously. Add a splash more water if the pasta feels too dry or sticky. The starchy water will blend with the ghee and paneer to create a glossy green sauce that clings perfectly to the pasta. [8] Add the tang: Gently fold in your cooked tomatoes and any remaining juices from the pan. Serve immediately while hot and vibrant green! If you are setting the table now, let me know: Do you want to add a quick side salad or roasted vegetable to complete the 4-person meal? Are any of your guests sensitive to garlic or spice so we can adjust the recipe before you blend? Do you need help converting any of these measurements to grams or ounces?
