Lumaconi with basil and pistachio pesto

Following the instructions for the pasta you use, cook it in salted water. ⚠️ Keep in mind that you must add the salt once the water starts to boil. If you add the salt from the beginning it will take longer for the water to boil.

Place the fresh basil leaves, pistachios, Parmesan, garlic, extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt in a blender.

Mash until you get the texture you like. I like the pistachio pieces to be visible, so I won't grind the mixture too much.

Drain the pasta well. It seems like a silly step, but that residual water could "water down" our pesto sauce and that's not cool at all.

Place the dough in a mixing bowl and mix well with wrapping motions.

Now that everything is well mixed, you only have to plate your pasta.

Enjoy! 💚
