Fabulous Cilantro Pesto
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour pesto in a small saucepan and warm over low heat, stirring constantly, until pesto begins to simmer. Pour over cooked pasta and toss.
