Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons salt, plus more for water and pine nuts
2 cups fresh cilantro leaves (1 bunch)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice (1/2 lime)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, room temperature
Freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons pine nuts
8 ounces wide rice noodles or fresh or dried fettuccine

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of generously salted water to a boil. Combine cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste in the bowl of a food processor, and puree. Remove from the food processor, transfer to a small bowl, and set cilantro pesto aside.
  • Melt remaining teaspoon butter in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Add pine nuts; cook, tossing until golden brown, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with salt, and transfer to a paper towel to drain. Set aside.
  • Cook noodles until al dente, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the cilantro pesto; toss, and garnish with pine nuts.

This dish was a disappointment. The pesto was watery and the rice noodles were mushy. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The pesto lacked flavor and the rice noodles were overcooked. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The pesto is very creamy and the rice noodles are a bit heavy. I think I would prefer it with a lighter pesto or a different type of noodle.
