| Pistachio Nuts | 1/2 cup, unshelled | |
| Parmesan Cheese | 2/3 cup, grated | |
| Garlic | 3 cloves, chopped | |
| Fresh Basil | 8 cups of leaves | |
| Extra Virgin Olive Oil | 2/3 cup | |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon | |
| Bow Tie Pasta | 1 lb. |
To begin making this deliciously simple Pistachio Basil Pesto:
Basil, nuts, cheese.
(The fresher, the better when it comes to herbs. Grow basil in a window that gets a lot of sun. It’s worth it).
Toss nuts around, then bake for another 3 mins. (You’ll know when they’re ready because you’ll start to smell the aroma). Let cool.
Repeat pulsing & adding oil until all oil is mixed in and pesto is smooth, about 3 minutes.
Cook pasta according to package directions, drain, then mix in with pesto and enjoy your creation!
