    Ingredients
      

    For the pecan pesto

    • 2 cups basil leaves
    • 1/4 cup pecan halves
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 1/2 cup olive oil
    • 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

    For the pasta

    • 8 ounces farfalle bow-tie pasta
    • 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined, tails on if you prefer
    • 1 cup frozen peas
    • 1/4 roasted red pepper cut into strips
    • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans

    Instructions
     

    • To make the pesto, place the basil, pecans and garlic in a food processor and pulse to chop. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil. Scrape the mixture into a small bowl and stir in the cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The pesto can be made ahead. Drizzle a little oil over the top, cover well with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 48 hours or freeze until needed.
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to directions, generally about 11 minutes. Three minutes before pasta is done, add the shrimp. After two minutes, add the peas. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta, shrimp and peas.
    • Return to the warm cooking pot and add the pecan pesto. Stir to coat well. Add a splash or two of the pasta cooking water to form a sauce. Stir in the red pepper and remaining pecans and toss to combine everything. Serves 4.
