- ¼ to ½ cup olive oil
- 1 pound spaghetti, cooked according to package directions
Directions
- In a food processor, combine cilantro and cashews; pulse a few times to coarsely chop.

- With processor running, slowly add olive oil until you reach desired consistency.
- Toss with hot cooked spaghetti and divide among serving bowls.
MAKE IT A MEAL: Add leftover shredded rotisserie chicken to round out the meal.
DRESS IT UP: Add vibrant colors that will really pop off the fragrant green pesto pasta. In a sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat, and sauté 1 cup thinly sliced red, orange, and yellow peppers for 8 minutes, or until soft. Add 1 cup thawed frozen shelled edamame, and cook until heated through. Toss with pesto and pasta. Divide among serving bowls. Garnish with chopped cashews and cilantro for the finishing touch.











I just made this pesto and it is delicious! Def. going to add edamame as garnish!
