The creamy tagliatelle with pistachio pesto is a really simple and quick first course to make! Few and genuine ingredients make these tagliatelle unique, tasty, creamy, and truly irresistible! If you have time and want, you can make homemade tagliatelle. Did you know there is a version of crepe tagliatelle in broth? If instead you prefer something more classic, I suggest salmon tagliatelle.

Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh pasta
- 1/3 oz basil
- 1 3/4 oz Parmesan cheese
- 5 oz unsalted pistachios
- 1 to taste lemon
- 1/2 cup fresh liquid cream
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- to taste salt

Steps
In a large pot, bring plenty of salted water to a boil with a drizzle of olive oil and cook the tagliatelle.
Meanwhile, place the washed and well-dried fresh basil, grated Parmesan cheese, pistachios, salt, and pepper in a mixer.
Start the mixer and gradually pour in the extra virgin olive oil until you get a creamy pesto.
At this point, drain the pasta, but not too much, and pour the tagliatelle into a pan, adding the pesto, cream, grated lemon peel, and mix everything well.
Immediately plate your fantastic creamy tagliatelle with pistachio pesto while still hot and sprinkle with pistachio granules.
Storage
If you have leftover creamy tagliatelle with pistachio pesto, you can store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container until the next day.
Tips and variations
If you don’t like tagliatelle or have an intolerance to egg pasta, you can replace it with other types of fresh pasta, such as trofie.
