Basil Pesto Pasta
Basil Pesto Pasta..and I just loved it. Yes the pesto is from the scratch and I limited my cheese content but if you arn't that worried about it, please be generous with cheese.
So for long I tried finding the substitute of pine nuts which is mostly used in pesto and then Pistachio came to my rescue. Infact it tasted better, however I later realized that almonds too could have done a good job for Basil Pesto Pasta.The Basil Pesto Pasta had good and balanced flavors of Basil, pungency of chilli and texture of cream. I loved the Basil Pesto Pasta so much that next day made sandwiches out of it too.
