Flavor Friday

Pesto is great, because it is easy. Mash up a bunch of basil and garlic and you are set. But what about adding pistachios? Pistachios are a beloved nut in our household, so when I came upon this recipe, I knew it was going to be a must. Any excuse to get pistachios into the main entree!

I followed another suggested menu from Cooking Light. It suggested to serve the Fusili with Pistachio Pesto with melon and garlic bread. The melon really complemented the flavors in the pesto. And it took no cooking, which was nice.

It was a nice summer meal....enjoy!
