Pistachio Sauce Pasta
A simple and original recipe to eat pasta in a different way, with a wonderful pistachio sauce with cream.
Ingredients
- 250 g Paste
- 2 Garlic
- 1 Bay Leaf
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 100 g Pistachios
- 200 ml Liquid cream
- 1 tsp Butter
- Grated cheese (Parmesan cheese is better)
- Nutmeg
- Crushed pepper
- Salt
Instructions
- Let's start preparing the Pistachios. First remove the shells. When we have them all ready, put a pot with water and bring to boil. As soon as it starts to boil, add the pistachios and let them cook for one to two minutes. After that time, remove them from the boiling water and transfer them to a bowl with very cold water.Put them on absorbent kitchen paper and begin to remove the skin from the pistachios.
- When we have peeled all the pistachios, we add them to the blender, together with the cream. Mash very well until there are no very large pieces of pistachio (you can reserve some whole pistachios or in small pieces to decorate the dish when you serve it).
- Put a frying pan on the heat with the butter and, when it has melted, add the cream and pistachio cream that we have just mashed, put on low heat and let it reduce slightly while stirring occasionally. Add a pinch of salt, nutmeg and ground pepper.
- Meanwhile, we are also going to cook the pasta. In a wide pot we put a drizzle of oil. When it is hot, add the garlic and the well washed bay leaf.
- Over medium heat, let the garlic brown. Then add enough water to cover the pasta you have chosen, and bring to a boil. As soon as it is boiling, add a handful of salt, mix and add the pasta. Cook for about 10 minutes approximately, according to the package directions or according to your taste.
- When it is ready, with a skimmer we take it out to the pan where we had the sauce. Add a handful of grated cheese, to taste, mix well and serve.
