Pesto di pomodori secchi e mandorle

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

sun-dried tomatoes

🥗Healthier: fresh tomatoes

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Canned tomatoes are often less expensive and can be used in a pinch.

almonds

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: cashews

Walnuts provide healthy fats and are often cheaper than almonds.

Soak the sun-dried tomatoes in warm water to soften them (if needed).

In a food processor, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, grated cheese, peeled almonds, garlic clove, and cherry tomatoes.

Blend the mixture until smooth, adding the extra virgin olive oil gradually to achieve the desired consistency.

Transfer the pesto to a sterilized glass jar for storage.
