Sounds good! We've had good luck toasting pine nuts in the tray of our

toaster oven (taking care not to overdo them).

This sounds interesting... I've made similar with Basil and we love it, never tried with Parsley... Will have to give it a try.

Thanks for sharing Melonie!

SILLYYAKS RECIPE - GF PINE NUT PARSLEY PESTO PASTA

SILLYYAKS RECIPE - GF PINE NUT PARSLEY PESTO PASTA shared by SY member, Melonie and originally taken from Columbia Daily Tribune 03/15/2006 16-ounce box rice pasta, any size - see note 1 cup pine nuts, about 5 ounces 2 cups firmly packed flatleaf parsley, washed and dried well - see note 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon coarse salt ½ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper ¹/³ cup oil Optional: 1 cup cherry tomatoes Put a large pot of salted water on to boil for pasta. Heat a large skillet on high. Add pine nuts and toast until slightly golden, about three minutes, frequently shaking pan. Remove to a dish to cool. Coarsely chop parsley leaves and stems and add to a food processor with metal blade. Add pine nuts (reserving a tablespoon for garnish) Parmesan cheese, garlic and lemon rind. Pulse until finely chopped. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper. Process, while adding oil in a thin stream, until smooth. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain pasta, reserving ½ cup of pasta water for sauce, briefly rinsing. Toss pasta with sauce using reserved pasta water if a thinner sauce is desired and serve. Garnish with remaining pine nuts and tomatoes. Serves four to six. Note: Rice pasta is available in supermarkets’ international pasta sections. A lettuce spinner is a good, tool for washing and drying parsley. Recipe from Andre Prost/Notta Pasta, gluten-free rice pasta
