Gourmet Pistachio Pesto Pasta

The ultimate Italian comfort dish, elevated.

Experience the true taste of Sicily with our rich, artisanal pistachio pesto. This isn't just a meal; it’s a Mediterranean escape on a plate.

Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 10 min
Yields: 2 servings
Cost: Moderate

Ingredients:
Dellabuona Pistachio Pesto - 120 g (½ cup)
Dry pasta (linguine or fusilli) - 200 g
Pecorino cheese, grated - 30 g (¼ cup)
Fresh basil leaves - 5-6 leaves
Salt - to taste

Preparation:

To prepare this masterpiece, start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil and cooking your favorite pasta until it reaches the perfect al dente texture. While the pasta is bubbling, prepare your serving plates by spreading a generous tablespoon of Dellabuona Pistachio Pesto at the base. Once the pasta is ready, drain it—remembering to reserve a splash of the starchy cooking water—and place it directly onto the pesto. Add another lavish dollop of pesto on top and toss gently, incorporating a bit of the pasta water to create a silky, emerald-colored sauce. Finish the dish with a shower of freshly grated Pecorino cheese and hand-torn basil leaves for a fragrant, gourmet finish.

Velvet Pistachio Tiramisu

A sophisticated twist on an Italian classic.

Trade the cocoa for the vibrant green of our premium pistachio cream. This dessert is creamy, nutty, and absolutely irresistible.

Difficulty: Medium
Prep time: 15 min (plus chilling)
Yields: 1 serving
Cost: Moderate
Estimated cost (USA market, 1 serving): $6-8 USD

Ingredients:

Dellabuona Pistachio Cream - 60 g (¼ cup)
Mascarpone cheese - 80 g (⅓ cup)
Ladyfingers (Savoiardi) - 4 biscuits
Strong organic coffee, chilled - 60 ml (¼ cup)
Unsweetened cocoa powder - 1 tsp (for dusting)

Preparation:

Begin by whisking together mascarpone cheese and Dellabuona Pistachio Cream in a bowl until the mixture is light, airy, and smooth. Prepare your foundation by quickly dipping ladyfinger biscuits into strong, chilled organic coffee, ensuring they are well-soaked but still structurally sound. In a glass dish, create a beautiful base of the coffee-soaked biscuits, then spread a thick, even layer of your pistachio-mascarpone silk on top. To finish, add a delicate dusting of cocoa powder for a bitter-sweet contrast and let the dish rest in the refrigerator for at least two hours to allow the flavors to harmonize perfectly.
Pro-Tip: For the best results, let the Tiramisu rest in the fridge overnight to allow the ladyfingers to fully soften into a cloud-like consistency.
