- Drop the tomatoes into the blender jar or food processor bowl, followed by the garlic, almonds, basil leaves, pepper flakes, and 1/2 t salt.

bostick@yahoo.comOverall, this was a good recipe. The pesto sauce was tasty and the spaghetti was cooked well. However, I found the dish to be a bit too oily. I'll try using less olive oil next time.

l_s27@gmail.comNot bad, but not great either. The pesto sauce lacked depth and the spaghetti was a bit overcooked. I'll keep searching for a better recipe.
