Pasta with Blackened Scallops

This was posted by Sue Freeman. I hope to try it soon.


List of Ingredients





Penne Pasta With Pistachio Pesto Cream Sauce

I served blackened scallops with it. But you can also serve shrimp or whatever you
want!!!!

Serve this as a side dish or add shrimp to create an entree.

Serves 2-4

Pesto:
1/4 cup Basil, fresh
1/4 cup Parsley. Chopped
1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon Olive oil
1/4 cup Pistachio nuts, shells removed

1 1/2 cup Cream
1/2 pound Penne pasta, cooked

Place the basil, parsley, garlic, oil, and pistachio nuts in a food processor bowl. Pulse
until a coarse paste forms. Set aside. Heat the cream in a large skillet. Boil until the
cream begins to thicken. Whisk in the pesto. Toss in the cooked pasta. Check the
seasonings. Serve warm.
