Preparation

Step 1

Pulse pistachios, tomato, garlic cloves, mint leaves, Parmesan, crushed red pepper flakes, and a black pepper in a food processor until a coarse purée forms. Transfer to a bowl; stir in olive oil (or more) to form a thick, chunky sauce. Season with kosher salt and pepper.

Toss 1 cup pesto with 1 lb. freshly cooked pasta, adding pasta cooking liquid by the tablespoonful to form a glossy sauce. Chill remaining pesto to spread on sandwiches.
