I happened to be in a region where pistachio was everywhere\u2014in the cornetti, granita, cannoli, gelato, but most excitingly, in the pesto served over the regional spiral pasta shape, busiate. I ate bowl after bowl. Of course, I had to develop a recipe for it as soon as I returned home. Pistachios hold their own enchantments: prized aphrodisiacs since antiquity, revered by Assyrians and ancient Greeks, and so coveted that the Queen of Sheba is said to have monopolised them. Basil too: worn as royal perfume and named for the Greek word for \u2018king\u2019, it was considered a fragrant aphrodisiac. Italian maidens gifted basil sprigs to their lovers to seal their affection, while in the Middle East, its scent was said to weave a spell of romance in a room. Whenever I have a night to myself, I nourish myself with a bowl of this pesto\u2014the ultimate act of self love. I associate that time, and this recipe, with a tectonic shift in my ability to love myself. When I make it now, I remember the woman I was, looking for love everywhere but the most obvious place, and finding it finally in myself. This recipe makes extra pesto, because if you\u2019re going to make it, you might as well make a lot. It\u2019s perfect for sandwiches, pasta, pizza, or salads. Make it vegan by skipping the parmesan and adding morenuts, though it won\u2019t be quite as rich."},{"acf_fc_layout":"two_blocks","block_sizes":"half_50_50","content_type_left":"text","image_size_left":"regular","image_left":null,"video_left_url":"","video_caption_left":"","video_left_type":false,"text_left":"<span data-contrast=\"auto\">INGREDIENTS<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215}\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n80g basil\r\n\r\n300ml extra virgin olive oil\r\n\r\n1 clove of garlic\r\n\r\n1 tsp of sea salt\r\n\r\n\u00bd tsp of cracked black pepper\r\n\r\n150g pistachios, shelled and unsalted, coarsely ground\r\n\r\n150g parmesan, finely grated\r\n\r\n100g almond flakes\r\n\r\n500g busiate or your favourite shape of pasta\r\n\r\n<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215}\">\u00a0<\/span>","credit_image":null,"credit_link_left":null,"content_type_right":"text","image_size_right":"regular","image_right":null,"video_right_url":"","video_caption_right":"","video_right_type":false,"text_right":"METHOD (<em>serves 6<\/em>)\r\n\r\nIn a blender or food processor, combine the basil, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.

In a dry frying pan, toast the flaked almonds until golden brown. Cook the pasta al dente by testing it for doneness about 2\u20133 minutes shy of the packet instructions. Drain the pasta and toss it with half of the pesto, stirring thoroughly to coat.
