Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 lb cherry tomatoes, very ripe and sweet
12 large fresh basil leaves
1 plump garlic clove, crushed and peeled
1/3 cup whole almond, lightly toasted
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt (more for cooking the pasta) or 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste (more for cooking the pasta)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb spaghetti
1/2 cup freshly grated grana padano or 1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Rinse the cherry tomatoes, and pat them dry; rinse the basil leaves and pat dry.
  • Drop the tomatoes into the blender jar or food processor bowl, followed by the garlic, almonds, basil leaves, pepper flakes, and 1/2 t salt.
  • Blend for a minute or two to a fine puree; scrape down the bowl, and blend again if any large bits or pieces have survived.
  • With the machine still running, pour in the olive oil in a steady stream, emulsifying the puree into a thick pesto.
  • Taste, and adjust seasoning.
  • Heat 6 quarts water with 1 T salt to the boil in a large pot.
  • Scrape all the pesto into a big warm bowl.
  • Cook the spaghetti al dente, lift it from the cooking pot; drain briefly, and drop onto the pesto.
  • Toss quickly to coat the spaghetti, sprinkle the cheese all over, and toss again.
  • Serve immediately in warm bowls.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti. I had some leftover from another recipe and I was looking for a way to use it up. This recipe was perfect! The pesto added so much flavor to the pasta.
