Discover the vibrant flavors of Macaroni with Parsley Pesto and Mushrooms: Pasta Perfection that will elevate your dinner experience!
Vito Costa invites us to savour the essence of Sicily with his exquisite Macaroni with Parsley Pesto and Mushrooms.
This dish is a celebration of vibrant flavours and textures, from the fresh parsley pesto to the rich, earthy chanterelle mushrooms.
The aroma of the pesto, combined with the creamy Sicilian pecorino cheese, creates a tantalising scent that fills the kitchen with warmth and joy.
This recipe is perfect for a cosy dinner party or a leisurely weekend meal, offering a taste of Sicilian tradition and culinary innovation.
Pair it with a fine wine for an unforgettable Mediterranean experience.
In a blender, combine the fresh parsley, grated Sicilian pecorino cheese, and peeled almonds. Blend until smooth.
Add extra virgin olive oil in a steady stream, blending until the desired pesto consistency is achieved. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the pesto to a bowl, ready to use as a pasta sauce.
Clean the mushrooms, removing any dirt, and cut them into small pieces.
Heat some olive oil in a large skillet and add a whole garlic clove.
Sauté the mushrooms over medium heat until golden and tender. Remove the garlic.
Cook the macaroni in salted water until al dente. Drain, reserving some cooking water.
Add the macaroni to the skillet with the mushrooms and mix with grated Sicilian pecorino until creamy. Add pasta water if needed.
Turn off the heat and add the parsley pesto, stirring well to combine.
Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of pecorino cheese and fresh black pepper.
For a nut-free version, replace almonds with sunflower seeds. You can also use other types of mushrooms if chanterelles are not available.
Pair this dish with a glass of Contea di Sclafani Rosso Novello to enhance the flavours. Serve at 16°C to 18°C in balloon glasses for optimal aroma.
