Fresh tagliatelli, coated in a delicious and nutty homemade coriander (cilantro) pesto! Perfect and scrumptious side dish or vegetarian main dish!
Ingredients
- 1 bunch chopped fresh cilantro
- 6 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 (12 ounce) package dry tagliatelle or wide fettucine pasta
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

- Place the cooked pasta into a large serving bowl, and toss with the pesto. Drizzle a bit of extra-virgin olive oil over the pasta, and serve hot.
