Tips:
- To make the most flavorful pesto, use fresh sun-dried tomatoes. If you can't find them, you can use dried sun-dried tomatoes, but be sure to soak them in hot water for 15 minutes before using.
- Use a good quality olive oil for the pesto. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce.
- If you don't have pine nuts, you can substitute almonds or walnuts.
- Be sure to taste the pesto before adding it to the pasta. You may need to adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Linguine is a great pasta for this dish, but you can use any type of pasta that you like.
- Serve the pasta immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the pasta is hot and the pesto is still fresh.

This linguine with sun-dried tomato pesto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pesto is flavorful and creamy, and the sun-dried tomatoes add a tangy sweetness to the dish.
