My boyfriend's mother gave us all these pistachios, and I didn't know what to do with them, so I added them to pasta. It was WONDERFUL! Hope you like it!
Ingredients:
linguine (as much as you would like)
oil (for frying)
3 -4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 white onion, chopped
finely chopped pistachios, shells removed (i used about 1/3 cup)
prepared pesto sauce (optional)
Directions:
1. Prepare linguini using package instructions.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a nonstick pan.
3. Fry garlic and pistachios until garlic is brown and pistachios are tender (they may look burned, but don't worry - they don't taste burned).
4. Add onion to pan.
5. Fry onion until tender.
6. Add ingredients in pan to linguini.
7. I added some prepared pesto sauce from a jar, but I think that a little olive oil and some shredded romano or parmesan cheese would be really good as well!
8. I also added crushed black pepper.
