Pistachio Pesto

Pistachio Pesto

An emerald-green nutty sauce made predominantly from pistachios and parsley, punctuated with lively citrus notes and rich Parmesan cheese. Put a dollop over pasta, serve as a dip with crostini and goat cheese, or use as a sauce for seafood. Look for raw shelled pistachios rather than roasted and salted ones.
