Sicily’s Inspired Pistachio Pesto

Etna erupted last night! (NB This is an old photo.) Here she is from Bronte on the western slope with glorious pistachio trees in the foreground. Pistachios love the mineral and saline rich volcanic soil of Mamma Etna. It makes them taste so good! That’s why Sicilians invented pistachio pesto to go on pasta!

Learn to make pistachio pesto, fresh cavatelli pasta, and Sicilian orange salad with me on Saturday evening (Eastern).
