Brazil Nut Pesto Fettuccine with Radish

We rarely eat gluten-free food products but when it comes to Cappello's, we make an exception. by Marla Starr, updated November 6, 2016 Posted on July 31, 2015

We don’t normally go for the gluten-free pastas (or gluten-free boxed products in general) but sometimes you just need a little comfort food.

Pasta can be pretty hard to give up. Wars have been fought over it. Family feuds have begun because of pasta and lasted for centuries.

Brazil Nut Pesto Fettuccine with Radish

OK, not really, but it is frequently one of the first things people mention when you suggest going grain-free.

Many of us can continue to live a pasta-free life without feeling deprived, but if you find yourself eyeing the fettuccine being served at the table next to yours, never fear. There is hope.

Cappello’s gluten-free pasta is not made with beans or rice. It has only paleo ingredients consisting of: almond flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, eggs, sea salt, and xanthan gum.

It is pretty heavy on the carbs, but the almond flour and eggs help keep this fettuccine low on the glycemic index.

Cappello’s is our go-to brand when we’re in the mood for some paleo pasta. It tastes exactly like the real thing, no cardboard consistency with this fettuccine.

Brazil Nut Pesto Fettuccine with Radish

You can serve your fettuccine with your grandmother’s ancient pasta sauce recipe, or you can make this Brazil Nut Pesto instead. It’s a delicious, fatty topping that will further help prevent a spike in blood sugar and you can rest easy knowing it’s made of nutrient-dense ingredients.

The onion and radishes provide a nice crunchy texture to balance out the chewy pasta. Depending on your preference and how many people you’re cooking for, you can serve this as a main course or a side dish. You can even serve it like a true Italian and eat it as an appetizer before starting on your meat or fish.

Brazil Nut Pesto Fettuccine with Radish

Brazil Nut Pesto Paleo Fettuccine with Radish

Yield: 2-3 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 package Cappellos Gluten-Free Fettuccine
  • 20 brazil nuts
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 4 organic lacinato kale leaves
  • extra virgin olive oil, to taste
  • coarse ground sea salt, to taste
  • 5 radishes, sliced
  • 1/2 sweet onion, chopped

Directions

  1. Prepare Paleo Fettuccine by following directions on the package. This will be very quick when you use Cappello's Fettuccine, which cooks in 60 seconds!
  2. Add the brazil nuts and cloves of garlic to a food processor and blitz until the nuts are ground.
  3. Add the kale and process until leaves are chopped.
  4. With the blade running, drizzle olive oil in until pesto forms into your desired consistency. You may need to stop and start the blade and scrape the sides in the process.
  5. Season with sea salt and blitz to combine. Taste the pesto and see if more olive oil or sea salt is necessary.
  6. Combine the cooked Paleo fettuccine with the sliced radishes and chopped onion in a large mixing bowl. Pour all of the pesto into the bowl and stir until all noodles are equally covered in pesto.
  7. Prepare servings across two plates and serve with a side salad.
  8. Enjoy! :)
