Servings: 1
- 2 cups Basil Leaves
- ¼ cup Pistachios shells removed
- 2 tbsp Garlic
- ½ cup Parmigiano Reggiano
- ½ cup Olive Oil
- 1 Lemon
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Place the pistachios (sans shells) into a food processor. Lightly pulse the nuts until ground.
Add basil, garlic, parmigiano reggiano, half of the zest of a lemon and half the juice. You don’t want to add too much of this without tasting as the lemon can overpower the basil.
Gradually add the olive oil (noting you may need more depending on the consistency you want) and gently pulse until you’ve created gorgeously green pistachio pesto sauce!
Stir into your pasta of choice!
