Sun Dried Tomato Pesto

Serves 4
15 minutes
Difficulty Easy
8 Ingredients

This pesto is perfect in pasta dishes or as an appetizer on toasted crostini, it also makes an excellent pizza base topping.

Ingredients (serves 4)

2 cups sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup (packed) fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup cup pine nuts
2 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
fresh ground pepper to taste

Method

Process all ingredients and half of the olive oil in a food processor.
Slowly pour in the remaining oil as the pesto processes.
Blend until the mixture forms a coarse paste; add more oil if you desire a thinner paste

Notes

I often have an excess of tomatoes and love to make sundried tomatoes and this is just a natural progression!
