Recipe by Alison Roman We love a classic pesto Genovese. But why be limited to basil? Swapping in flat-leaf parsley makes for a balanced sauce that allows you to really taste the nuts, the olive oil, the Parmesan. Sturdy parsley is also easier to find ye

Ingredients

  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted, roasted almonds
  • 4 cups (packed) fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
  2. Meanwhile, pulse almonds in a food processor until smooth. Add parsley, chives, oil, and Parmesan; process until smooth. Season pesto with salt and pepper.
  3. Toss pasta and pesto in a large bowl, adding pasta cooking liquid by 1/4-cupfuls until saucy. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. DO AHEAD: Pesto can be made 5 days ahead. Cover surface directly; chill.
