First, put the peeled pistachios in a pot of boiling water and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Then pour them into a sieve and drain well. Remove the dark skin of each pistachio.
Now put the skinned pistachios in the blender. Then add the olive oil, the grated parmesan cheese, the basil, the clove of garlic and some grated lemon peel.
Now blend thoroughly for a few seconds and then add the water. Season with salt and pepper and blend again until the pesto has a nice creamy consistency.
The aromatic pesto can now be used with any type of pasta or even as a delicious spread.Buon appetito!
