Sicilian Sumo Citrus Pesto Pasta
It's bright, citrus-y, a little peppery, and delicious for the whole family this Spring!
What you need
ground black pepper
oz prosciutto

oz linguine

cup pistachio
oz cherry tomato

mandarin orange
salt

cup grated parmesan cheese

tsp crushed red pepper
cup dried basil
Instructions
Cook the pasta according to package direction, until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup pasta water before draining. In a skillet over medium high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Add little bite-sized bundles of prosciutto to cook 1-2 minutes on each side, until crispy. Set aside. In a food processor, combine the cherry tomatoes, grated parmesan, zest and juice of a sumo citrus, basil, olive oil, pistachios, and crushed red pepper flakes. Blend on HIGH until smooth, about 1 minute. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. While the pasta is still warm, toss back in the sumo citrus pesto until very well coated. Warm up the pasta over the stovetop if desired. Serve warm with freshly grated parmesan and the crispy prosciutto.View original recipe
