Italian Tagliatelle in basil garlic sauce

Tagliatelle is an Italian pasta served with different sauces both veg & non-veg. Most of us like pasta & can be served with different sauces. Basil garlic sauce is the old fashioned & classic sauce made with fresh basil & garlic. I like to add some chopped walnuts occasionally to make it little rich.

I like to add 1/2 tsp of mayonnise along with basil sauce. It makes difference. Instead of basil, can substitute with other Italian herbs toooo. It taste simple & yum....
