Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Blanch shelled pistachios in boiling water for 20–30 seconds. Drain, run under cold water, and spread out on a paper towel to dry slightly.
Peel off the thin brown skins—this part’s optional, but it gives the spread its vibrant green color and a smoother texture.
Add olive oil, lemon juice, mascarpone, basil, salt, and pepper.
Blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides and keep going until the texture is silky—this can take up to 5 minutes, depending on your food processor. Add a splash of water if you want it thinner.
Taste and adjust.
Serve it up. Spread it, dip it, love it.
