vegetarian and inexpensive thanks to sesame instead of pine nuts

Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain through a sieve. Meanwhile, prepare the pesto: Wash and trim the herbs, then remove the stems. Place them in a blender and process. Gradually add the remaining ingredients, blending and stirring occasionally. Continue until a smooth mixture is formed. Add 1-2 tablespoons of pesto to a portion of hot spaghetti and then mix. Variation: Use only parsley or only basil instead of the mixture. The less basil you use, the milder the pesto.
