Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions.
- While the pasta cooks, make the pesto. Add the tomatoes, peppers, hazelnuts, vinegar and chili sauce to the carafe of a food processor. Process until smooth, about 2 minutes. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of pasta water.
- Add the cheese, butter, half of the pesto and a ladleful of pasta water to a large bowl. When the pasta is ready, drain and add it directly to the bowl. Stir together, adding more pesto as desired, or more pasta water to reach the desired consistency. Grate more cheese over the pasta and garnish with basil leaves. Serve immediately.
- Extra pesto, placed in an airtight container and topped with a layer of olive oil, will keep in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPREAD
I use this tomato-based spread in place of jelly on toast and bagels. My favorite is spreading it on tomato-basil bagels. I usually place 1/2 the spread in the refrigerator, and freeze the remainder for later use.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread, such as a baguette or ciabatta, will hold up well to the spicy cayenne spread.
- Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to become crispy and flavorful.
- Make the cayenne spread ahead of time: The spread can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil or cilantro, will add a pop of flavor to the spread.
- Serve the toasts immediately: The toasts are best served immediately after they are made, while the bread is still crispy and the spread is still warm.
