Fabulous Cilantro Pesto

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes; drain well.

Blend cilantro, nuts, Parmesan, garlic, vinegar, cayenne pepper, and salt in a food processor or blender. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and blend until combined. Add remaining olive oil until pesto reaches desired consistency.

Pour pesto into a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until pesto is warmed and begins to simmer. Pour over cooked pasta and toss to coat.
