  1. Cook fettuccine (or other pasta) in boiling water.
  2. In a small blender/food processor add ground pistachio, orange juice, salt and pepper. Blend.
  3. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano, and blend again until you get a "creamy" consistency. Set aside.
  4. Drain pasta and toss into a bowl with the Pistachio Pesto "cream". Mix for 2 minutes and serve immediately.
    Note: If pasta feels dry, add a bit of water to soften the texture.
