Creating Memories: Rosemary-Lemon Pasta with Pistachios

Today’s Recipe: Rosemary-Lemon Pasta with Pistachios

Hello, lovely readers! Today, I’m excited to share a brand new recipe that I created on a whim. This dish was inspired by the vibrant flavors of summer and my love for experimenting with different ingredients. I hope you enjoy this fresh and zesty Rosemary-Lemon Pasta with Pistachios as much as I do!

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• spaghetti (200g)
• lemon zest (1 lemon)
• fresh rosemary (2 tbsp, chopped)
• garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• pistachios (50g, chopped)
• olive oil (2 tbsp)
• Parmesan cheese (40g, grated)
• salt and pepper to taste

To bring this dish to life, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• pot for boiling pasta
• large pan
• strainer
• cheese grater
• sharp knife

Start by boiling water in a pot and cooking the spaghetti according to the package instructions. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, then add chopped rosemary and lemon zest. Stir for a minute until fragrant.

Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it and add it to the pan with the garlic, rosemary, and lemon zest. Toss everything together, making sure the pasta is well-coated with the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Next, sprinkle chopped pistachios over the pasta and mix them in gently. The pistachios will add a delicious crunch and nuttiness to the dish. Finally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top and give it one final toss.

The total weight of this Rosemary-Lemon Pasta with Pistachios is approximately 500g. This recipe serves 4 people, with an average serving size weighing around 125g. Each serving is estimated to be around 400 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to toast the pistachios in a dry pan before adding them to the pasta. This will enhance their flavor and give the dish an extra depth of taste.

I encourage you to give this recipe a try and feel free to get creative with it. Add some grilled chicken or shrimp for a protein boost, or throw in some cherry tomatoes for a pop of color. Bon appétit!
