Orecchiette with Pistachio Pesto

Rate & Review

(63 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

This amazingly flavorful pesto has a key ingredient that makes it stand out: Sicily’s famed pistachio nuts. Falcinelli says, “Sicilian pistachios are incredibly sweet and fruity, not like the cheap ones we eat in front of the TV here in the U.S.”

Pairing Suggestion

The light sweetness of this pesto is counterpointed by many of Sicily’s white blends. Tenuta Rapitalà’s 2005 Casalj combines Catarratto and Chardonnay to create citrusy flavors; the 2005 Ajello Majus Bianco Sicilia blends Catarratto and Grillo for a somewhat richer effect.
