Sundried tomato and almond pesto pasta

Ingredients:

  • 280g pasta
  • salt
  • 140g sundried tomatoes (jarred in oil)
  • 100g almonds
  • 20g garlic (about 4 cloves)
  • 60g olive oil

Methods:

  • Start boiling the pasta in a pot of salty water.
  • Roughly chop the almonds, garlic and sundried tomatoes. Add olive oil. Hand blender the pesto.
  • Once the pasta is ready, place a mug in the sink before draining the pasta (to reserve some pasta water, in case it will be needed to reach a pesto-like consistency) and mix it with the pesto.
