Ingredients
- 1/3 cup packed fresh mint
- 1/3 cup packed fresh basil
- 1/3 cup packed fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 small garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup shelled dry-roasted, unsalted pistachios
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/3 cup finely chopped shallots
- 4 cups unsalted vegetable stock
- 12 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti or linguine (such as Wild Oats)
- 1 (5-ounce) package fresh baby spinach, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
- 3 ounces Burrata cheese
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped shelled dry-roasted, unsalted pistachios
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Combine first 7 ingredients in a mini chopper; add 1/4 cup pistachios, and process until finely chopped. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt; pulse to combine. Add 3 tablespoons oil; process until blended.
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Stir in shallots; sauté 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in stock, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pasta; bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes or until pasta is done, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat. Stir in pesto and spinach.
