Another way to make red pesto is to use jarred pimento red peppers instead of sundried tomatoes. Or if you have the time, roast your own peppers in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil until very soft
Ingredients
- 400g tagliatelle pasta
- 100g sundried tomatoes
- 30g fresh basil leaves
- 50g almonds
- 60g parmesan, finely grated
- 2 garlic cloves
- 100ml olive oil
Method
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Drain, reserving a cup of the cooking water. Set aside.
- In a food processor, whizz up all pesto ingredients until smooth. Add the pesto to the pan and stir through the pasta, adding a little of the reserved water if needed. Serve immediately with a fresh grating of parmesan.
