Lemony Pea and Pistachio Pesto Pasta Salad
From Cook's Country
We found that raw vegetables yielded a particularly bland pesto salad. Garlic and olive oil were musts in this pesto, along with pistachios, Pecorino Romano cheese, mint, and lemon zest for freshness. Pureed ricotta cheese lent a mild flavor and a silky creaminess that unified the other ingredients.
Serves 8 to 10
Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
