Рецепт Coriander Cashew Pesto Pasta with Veggies

  Coriander cashew pesto pasta with veggies– The Pesto pasta is a great recipe for some one who is bored of eating pasta with tomato sauce. My kids are extremely found of pesto pasta. Pesto sauce is traditionally made with pine nuts or walnuts.  Today i used cashew nuts in making the pesto. I prefer cashew, because this is something i always have in my pantry. This is also a great way of adding nuts to your kids diet.  For the greens, i used coriander leaves and basil. The pungent smell of coriander and basil, combined with the mellow cashew goes well in the pesto. I like to slightly roast the garlic before grinding. The raw garlic sometimes can be over powering. If it doesn’t bother you can, you can just use the raw garlic in the recipe. The sun dried tomatoes gives the sweet, tart and the tomato touch to the pesto sauce. Save quarter cup of pasta water, you may need to use the pasta water if the final pasta is little dry in the end. Its a dry pasta recipe, so its great lunch box dish. No spilling and no mess. Tastes great both hot and at room temperature.   coriander cashew pesto pasta with veggies video recipe-   coriander cashew pesto pasta with veggies detailed recipe- Coriander Cashew Pesto Pasta with Veggies   Save Print Prep time Cook time Total time   coriander cashew pesto pasta with veggie Author: Madhu Recipe type: Pasta Cuisine: Italian Serves: 2-3 Ingredients Cooked pasta - 3 cups Sliced Onion -1/4 cup Broccoli florets -1 cup Green peas - ¼ cup Cherry tomato -1/2 cup Garlic cloves -2 Olive oi l- 1tbsp Red chili flakes -1/2 tsp or to taste Italian seasoning-1/2 tsp Black pepper -1/4 tsp Salt to taste For the pesto sauce- Garlic cloves -2 Sun dried tomato-about 10 Cashews- ⅓ cup Basil leaves-1/4 cup Coriander leaves -1 cup packed Instructions Cook the pasta accordingly to the package directions and set a side.
