Place basil, cheese, pistachios, oil, garlic and pepper in food processor or blender and process until well blended. Boil pasta as directed on package and drain. In a large bowl combine the pesto and pasta. Serve warm.

Helpful Tip: To keep them at their freshest, store pistachios in a refrigerated, airtight container. You can also keep them in the freezer for long-term (up to a year) storage.
