Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 500g spaghetti
  • 1 bunch of basil
  • 1 cup crème fraîche
  • some salt and pepper
  • nutmeg

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, pick the basil, wash it, and place it in a tall, narrow bowl. Add the crème fraîche and puree with a hand blender. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Drain the pasta and return it to the hot pot. Mix with the herb crème fraîche and heat everything together. Then divide the pasta among four plates and serve. The recipe works just as well with regular cream or sour cream. However, the sauce will be thinner and will not stick to the pasta as well.
