Easy Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Recipe How To Make Tomato Pesto

Ingredients

1 c. oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped (about 8-oz.)

1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil from sun-dried tomato jar

2 tbsp. toasted pine nuts

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 tsp. Kosher salt, plus more as needed

1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil

2 tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan

Preparation

Step 1Combine tomatoes, oil, pine nuts, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and basil in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth.Step 2Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and stir in Parmesan. Taste and season with more salt, if needed.

To add even more depth to the flavors here, a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes will do the trick: the slight hint of spiciness works really well with the sweetness of the tomatoes and the richness of the oil, the nuttiness of the Parmesan.
