Well not Pizza or Baking...but there is no Random section...a sister of Pizza maybe! All that talk of Pistachios and Dutchies cake, prompted me to post this, I make it for Management every couple of weeks...great for Vegetarian (idiots) too!
PISTACHIO AND PINE NUT PASTA
INGREDIENTS:
80g Packet of Pine Nuts
80g Packet of Pistachio Nuts
150g Butter
20g Grated Parmesan
1 finely sliced clove garlic
¼ teaspoon of white pepper
Spaghetti or Linguini
METHOD:
Melt 100g butter over a low heat in a frying pan, add the pine nuts and “foam” until the first few start to brown. Remove from the heat, add the garlic and pepper and the remaining 50g butter.
Pound the pistachio nuts in a mortar and pestle until it is 80% powder.
Cook 3-4 serves of pasta (Spag is good) in boiling water.
Drain and add the past to the pine nuts and butter in the frying pan over a low heat, stir through. Add the pistachio and parmesan and stir through before serving.
Makes a great cold salad with Angel Hair as well.
Seriously good recipe to have up your sleve!
cheers
Chris

That sounds so scrumptious that I went straight into the kitchen and made my own pasta to make this dish tomorrow night.
Hopefully it turns out well.

I do it with Bacon sometimes.....it's good! I've also done it with a few grilled Cherry Tomatoes crushed through (and Chilli). I've done it with Clams once...that was good as well.
