cilantro cashew pesto


I made this to go over the mexican meatballs. I thinned it with a little fat free half and half before mixing it with the pasta.

Cilantro Cashew Pesto

3 heaping cups of fresh cilantro
2 garlic cloves
3/4 C cashews
1/4 c fresh parmesan
1 jalepeno
juice of half a lime
1/4-1/2 c extra virgin olive oil (I just drizzle it in until it is the consistency I want)

Put cilantro, garlic, cashews, cheese, jalepeno in food processor and blend until it looks like crumbs. Add lime juice. With machine on, slowly drizzle olive oil in until it is the consistency you like. I like thicker pesto.
