Did you know that... On the last Sunday of September and the first of October, the Pistachio Festival is held in the historic centre of Bronte. The uniqueness of this event is linked to the uniqueness of this product, which attracts thousands of tourists, even from abroad, to taste and buy products made from this particular type of pistachio.

Its cultivation in Sicily has ancient roots, dating back to the Arab-Norman period, and since then it has become one of the typical products of the island's gastronomy.

Gourmet recipes with pistachio pesto

Given its refinement, it is not easy to find this type of condiment, but when it is available, it adds a touch of class to even the simplest dishes. Here are some dishes that go well with pesto:

Pasta with tuna and pistachio pesto 

The secret lies in the quality of the ingredients: in addition to the pistachio pesto, we recommend Mediterranean red tuna and a grating of lemon rind before serving.

Penne with pistachio pesto

Compared to the classic recipe, this one replaces the bacon with cooked ham, making the flavour more aromatic and intense, and reducing the amount of cream in favour of the pesto. As special as it is tasty, it is easy and quick to prepare.

Fusilli with pistachio pesto and cherry tomatoes

A dish that combines all the typical flavours of the Mediterranean with the simplicity of short pasta for a quick and tasty lunch.
