Cilantro Almond Pesto


Tired of marinara sauce? Here's a delicious alternative...and it's easy, too!

Ingredients

2 cups cilantro leaves
1/4 cup roasted almonds
1/4 cup chives
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup grated parmesan
salt
pepper

Cook pasta and reserve the water when draining. Blend up ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Mix pesto in with drained pasta, adding a little of the reserved water if pesto is too thick. Add salt, pepper and more parmesan to taste.
