Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Pistachio Pesto

    In a food processor, combine pistachio nuts, fresh basil leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until coarsely blended. With the processor running, gradually add olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fennel Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the fennel sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a baking dish, spread the cooked fennel sausage evenly. Spoon the pistachio pesto over the sausage, then sprinkle the shredded Fontina cheese on top.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Sicilian dish!
