Pasta with Fennel, Green Olive and Pistachio Pesto
Olives and Parm, balanced with sweet pistachios and herbaceous parsley, make for a potent, umami-rich pesto.
With green olives and Parmesan cheese, this pesto is especially rich in umami, and the pistachios balance the saltiness with their gentle sweetness. It’s not only for pasta, though—it’s also delicious spread onto sandwiches or served as a relish with roasted vegetables or chicken. If you like, make the pesto ahead; it will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
