Ingredients

  • bunch cilantro leaves fresh chopped
  • servings pepper black to taste
  • teaspoon juice of lemon to taste
  • teaspoon olive oil extra virgin extra-virgin
  • 12 ounce soup noodles dry
  • tablespoons pinenuts 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl

Directions

  1. Place the cilantro, pine nuts, lemon juice, feta cheese, salt, and black pepper into the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse several times to mince the ingredients.
  2. Drizzle in 1/2 cup of olive oil with the machine running, and process until the pesto is a slightly textured paste.
  3. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the tagliatelle pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

  5. Place the cooked pasta into a large serving bowl, and toss with the pesto.
  6. Drizzle a bit of extra-virgin olive oil over the pasta, and serve hot.
