The spinach pasta fills up the greens-part of the pesto, and everything else is sprinkled on top.
To make the pasta:
1. In a food processor, blend the spinach, flour, egg yolk and a pinch of salt until well combined.
2. Sprinkle a surface with flour and knead with an iron fist for 10 minutes until smooth. Then knead some more.
3. Pass through a pasta maker to make fettuccine
4. Dry the pasta and use later or put the fresh pasta directly into a pot of rapidly boiling salted water. Cook until al dente.
To make the deconstructed pesto:
1. Once the pasta has cooked, put on four plates. Toss each with olive oil and garlic.
2. Sprinkle pine nuts and Parmesan over each and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm, with the option of extra pesto for the addicts.

Remember that fresh pasta cooks a lot quicker than dried pasta.
