Pesto Trapanese Recipe  (Pesto alla Siciliano)

This tasty Pesto Trapanese Recipe of blended roasted tomatoes, cheese, herbs, and almonds makes the most amazing sauce for pasta.

I would venture to say this is every bit as good as a typical basil pesto and can be used in the exact same way.

INGREDIENTS:

– tomatoes – olive oil – skinned almonds – pecorino romano – basil leaves – pasta

Core the tomatoes, slice them in half, and place them cut side up on a rack over a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle on 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake on a middle rack in the oven at 475° for 30 minutes.

Set them to the side to cool to room temperature.

In the meantime, add the almonds to a large non-stick or stainless-steel skillet and cook over low-medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes.

Next, add the tomatoes, almonds, and cheese to a blender and blend on high until smooth.
