A bit of a treat but super simple, pistachio pesto tossed through spaghetti with spicy prawns and lemon. Indulgent but easy, just what we like.

    this was really delicious! I only had 100g of pistachios so I made the rest up with cashew nuts. I added quite a lot of water as my sauce was quite a thick paste. I used fresh pasta and I find that soaks up liquid more than dried pasta. I also fried my prawns with garlic and that was a nice addition I thought!

    Excellent. Rough chopped olives instead of capers work a charm.

    so delicious! I’ve added some anchovies to the sauce, a pack of bay scallops together with prawns and blanched mangetout for crunchiness, worked out so well

    Hello Ann! 120g pistachos will get you around 60-70g pistachos once they have been shelled.

    The method needs to be updated if changing the serving sizes!

    Hi Liam, thanks for the feedback! We've amended the method so it's transferable to different serving sizes.

    Subbed half the pistachios for cashews (because pistachios are so expensive at the moment!) and half the basil for spinnach so I didn't decimated my basil plant. Worked great!

    Very tasty. I substituted the basil, with a mixture of spinach, rocket and watercress (a salad bag 😊) which added a different dimension.

    Would this work if I replaced the capers with Olives?

    Hi Jess, yes that would be delicious! You could either chop them up for a similar texture to the photo, or have them whole for a chunkier texture.
