Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp butter
• Handful of fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• food processor
• skillet
• pot for pasta

To start, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted water until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, toast the pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, then finely chop them in a food processor.

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the creamy sauce in the saucepan. Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce, then stir in the chopped pistachios and fresh parsley. Serve the Creamy Pistachio Pasta hot, garnished with extra grated parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 700g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 175g and has an estimated calorie count of 450 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to save some whole pistachios to sprinkle on top before serving. This adds a delightful crunch and enhances the nutty flavor of the dish.
