Summertime tagliarini

When I worked at the River Café we used to make a similar dish to this using basil, oil, Parmesan and lemon juice. When I was in Italy last year I came across this recipe, which seems to be an older version and uses parsley instead of basil, and pine nuts to give the sauce a creaminess – almost like a blond pesto. It's incredibly quick to make, a great one for the summertime, and most people love it. Everyone should make this at least once.
