Recipe by Gena Urias 

"This is a delicious version of the classic with a little more zip! You can substitute the vinegar with lime juice, lemon juice or Italian salad dressing."

Ingredients:
  • 1 (16 ounce) package farfalle pasta

  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


Directions:
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and return water to a boil. Cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain well.
  2. In an electric food processor or blender, blend cilantro, garlic, vinegar, Parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, nuts, and salt. Add 1/4 cup of the olive oil, and blend the pesto. Add more olive oil until the pesto reaches your desired consistency.
  3. Pour pesto in a small saucepan and warm over low heat, stirring constantly, until pesto begins to simmer. Pour over cooked pasta and toss.
