👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
If making testaroli from scratch, prepare the batter by blending flour, water, and salt until smooth. Cook thin layers in a 'testo' (special mold) or a non-stick pan until cooked through, then cut into diamond shapes.

To make the pesto, combine basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, Pecorino Sardo, and Parmigiano-Reggiano in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.

Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while the processor is running, until a smooth, emulsified sauce forms. Season with salt to taste.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the testaroli and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are tender.

Drain the testaroli well. In a large bowl, toss the hot testaroli with the prepared pesto sauce. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
