Ricotta Spinach Pistacchio Pesto

Pistachio-Pesto


Ricotta Spinach Pistachio Pesto

    Here is one of those dishes you sort of come up with impulsively. I went into my fridge one evening and noticed I had left over ricotta and some spinach in a bag. I also typically have pistachios lying around. "Here's a good idea, why not combine them into a delicious new pesto sauce for fresh pasta?" This turned out to be one of those flavor combinations that saved the day. Ricotta Spinach Pistachio Pesto.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1-cup fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup pistachios
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Garlic
  • Pasta of choice


1. In a blender combine ricotta, spinach, pistachios, Parmesan cheese, and garlic and blend until creamy. Add oil if needed to thin out a bit.

2. Cook pasta as normal and then stir with the pesto sauce.

3. Top some crushed pistachios and Parmesan cheese.

As weird and interesting that this pasta dish is, the flavor combination was amazing....
