ANNA'S SPAGHETTI W PESTO TRAPANESE (LIDIA) image

Categories     Nut     Tomato     Dinner     Basil

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

¾ pound cherry tomatoes, very ripe and sweet
12 leaves fresh basil
⅓ cup whole almonds, lightly toasted
1 garlic clove, crushed and peeled
¼ teaspoon peperoncino
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for cooking the pasta
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound spaghetti
½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Rinse the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. Rinse the basil leaves and pat dry. Drop the tomatoes into the blender jar or food processor bowl followed by the garlic clove, the almonds, basil leaves, peperoncino and 1/2 tsp salt. Blend for a minute or more to a fine purée; scrape down the bowl and blend again if any large bits or pieces have survived. With the machine still running, pour in the olive oil in a steady stream, emulsifying the purée into a thick pesto. Taste and adjust seasoning. (If you're going to dress the pasta within a couple of hours, leave the pesto at room temperature. Refrigerate for longer storage, up to 2 days, but let it return to room temperature before cooking the pasta.)

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed this dish. The flavors were well-balanced and the spaghetti was cooked perfectly.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pesto. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it more flavor.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of olive oil next time.

This recipe is a keeper! The pesto Trapanese is so flavorful and versatile. I've used it on pasta, chicken, and even as a marinade for grilled vegetables. It's always a hit.
