Sunshine pasta with pistachio

 This was .... ok, but promising enough to try again.

Saute in pan:  1 Tbsp oil, 1 diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 diced yellow bell peppers + 2 Tbsp white vinegar and pinch of salt.  With lid on for 10 min.  Soften but do not brown.

Boil pasta per instructions reserving 1 cup pasta water.

Add 1 oz grated parmesan to onion mixture and blend, adding pasta water as needed until sauce is desired consistency.  Adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste.

Sprinkle blitzed pistachio on top.

We also made some shrimp to serve on the side, and it would probably be great to have shrimp bits mixed in at the end.  (Here we did the shrimp separately and plopped them on top so Nadia might eat them).

I would have liked more sauce; and it doesn't keep well as the sauce dries out/gets absorbed into the pasta in the refrigerator.  So maybe sauce the pasta just before serving.  The pistachio crumbles on top look nice but don't seem to add much flavor.  I wonder if we added a tsp of pistachio paste mixed in the sauce itself?
