Ricetta - 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.

Combine basil leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, and almonds in a food processor.

Add garlic, parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.

Transfer to a serving bowl or jar and drizzle with a bit of olive oil to prevent browning.

Serve immediately with pasta, bread, or as a spread.
