Cilantro Pesto Pasta

Pesto is a such a versatile dish that you can make it with any greens and it will still taste awesome. I already made it with parsley , kale, spinach of course basil too. But one day didn't had any of this and still wanted to make pesto then I see I have lot of cilantro (coriander leaves) so thought why not to make pesto with this. I added almond and cashews together instead of just almonds and it taste awesome too.




Ingredients :

2 cups washed and just leaves of fresh coriander leaves
1/4 cup almond and cashews
1 clove of garlic peeled
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of one lime
2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup EVOO
2 cups boiled penne pasta
1 carrot chopped
1/2 onion chopped
Few black olives
Few chopped artichokes
As per taste salt , pepper and Artichokes hearts
1 tbsp. olive oil


Method:

In a blender,  add cilantro leaves, almond, cashews, garlic, salt and pepper, lime juice and pulse it or puree it.
Add olive oil and make a fine puree or pulse it more.
Take it in bowl and mix it Parmesan cheese.
You can use it for spread or even grill the vegetables , I use it for my pasta.





For Pasta :


In a pan, add oil and add all the vegetables , cook for a minute or two. Add  pesto in it and cook for a minute.

Now add cooked pasta and mix it and season it.

Serve it hot and sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top of it.
