Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, keeping them moist with a bit of pasta water.

In a food processor, combine the pistachios and minced garlic. Process until they're finely chopped.

Add the fresh basil leaves and fresh parsley leaves to the food processor, pulsing until combined.

While the processor is running, slowly pour in the olive oil and lemon juice. Continue processing until the mixture is well combined and somewhat smooth.

Finally, add the grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the food processor and pulse until well incorporated.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the pesto, tossing well to ensure every strand of fettuccine is coated. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the pasta immediately. This dish serves 4 and can be refrigerated in an air tight container for up to 4 days.
