The freshness of zucchini meets the bold pistachio in a pesto that reinvents tradition. Light, surprising, Sicilian.
From the Landof Sicily
The Zucchini and Pistachio Pesto combines the freshness of zucchini with the intense flavor of pistachio, creating a balanced and surprising condiment. The vegetable sweetness of zucchini blends with the bold and slightly crunchy note of pistachio.
- Bring the sauce together. Loosen the pesto with a little pasta cooking water, then add your chosen pasta shape and toss gently.
- Finish with a little crunch. Add a few chopped pistachios just before serving to preserve the contrast in textures.
- Beyond pasta. Spread a little over a slice of bread and add ribbons of grilled courgette for a vegetable starter.
