This is one of my most favorite recipes to share! If you are looking for a flavorful and healthy meal with fresh ingredients than this is the next dish to try. Not to mention this is a preparation and cook time of under 30 minutes. Score! This is a vegetarian pasta dish made with fettuccine noodles. I served this dish with a vegetarian chicken-free patty for myself. My husband had an organic breaded chicken patty.
This recipe allows you to create fresh pesto sauce, while adding the crunch from the macadamia nuts. This pesto gets its richness from the milk. The result is a creamy mixture similar to an Alfredo sauce but with pesto-like flavor.
Serving Size: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (9-ounce) package fresh fettuccine
- 3 cups fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons roasted macadamia nuts
- 3 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
2. While pasta cooks, place basil and remaining ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth.
3. Combine basil mixture and pasta in a large bowl, tossing to coat. Use salad tongs to evenly coat the noodles. Serve and enjoy.
