Ingredients

  • 360 g Sciara Pistachio Fettuccine
  • 6 tablespoons Sciara "Oro" Pistachio Pesto
  • 4 zucchini (better if 2 yellow and 2 green)
  • 60 g spreadable cheese (Philadelphia type)
  • 100 g Brazil nuts
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Vegetable broth
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Sweet paprika

Procedure

Let's start preparing our Fettuccine with Pistachio Pesto, cheese, zucchini, and Brazil nuts:

  1. Finely chop the garlic.
  2. Dice the zucchini into small pieces.
  3. Add extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped garlic, and a bit of salt and pepper to a pan, then sauté everything over low heat until the garlic begins to turn golden brown.
  4. Add the diced zucchini and a bit of broth to the pan.
  5. Cook the zucchini until they become soft.
  6. Transfer the zucchini to a blender. Add the Pistachio Pesto, the Brazil nuts, and a splash of broth.
  7. Blend everything until you get a thick and smooth cream.
  8. Cook the Fettuccine in plenty of boiling salted water; they'll be ready in 7 minutes. Drain them when they're still al dente.
  9. Meanwhile, pour the cream obtained into a large enough pan to also contain the pasta.
  10. Place the pan on the stove over low heat.
  11. Add the spreadable cheese and mix everything well, stirring gently.
  12. Drain the Fettuccine, add them to the pan, and finish cooking by adding a little bit of the cooking water.

SHARE THE RECIPE

Fettuccine are a culinary excellence of our peninsula. This pasta is characterized by its rough and jagged surface and edge, typical of handmade production. The thickness is slightly less than that of Tagliatelle.

Fettuccine have a Bolognese origin. Specifically, the invention of this pasta is attributed to Master Zefirano, who cooked it for the first time in 1487 for the wedding of the daughter of the lord of Bologna. But today, the tradition of Fettuccine, with some variations, is present in all regional cuisines, from Veneto to Sicily. Here in Bronte, the recipe for Fettuccine has married Pistachio, giving rise to the creation of many fresh and inviting dishes.

Today we want to propose a delicious and original variation of the classic Fettuccine with Pistachio Pesto. A dish with a unique flavor that will surprise all diners. And for the realization of this recipe, we asked for a hand from our friend and food blogger Chiara of NordFoodOvestEst.
