A lightened up pistachio cream sauce over pasta.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Short Cut Pasta
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
  • ¾ cups Pistachios, Shelled
  • ½  Medium Sized Onion, Chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 can (14 Oz. Size) Fat Free Evaporated Milk
  • ¼ cups Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

Bring a large pot of water to boil, and cook pasta as directed. Reserve 1 cup of cooking liquid.

In a large skillet melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Saute pistachios, onion, and garlic, until onions are soft and translucent. Transfer to a food processor or blender. Blend until coarse.

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, and lemon juice; pulse until combined. Return to skillet, add evaporated milk. Heat on low and allow to steep for 10 minutes. Do not bring to a boil.
