INSTRUCTIONS
Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, place
the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend them on
low until coarsely ground (do not liquify). If pesto is too thick, add 1 T
olive oil or lemon juice and continue processing. When pasta is al dente,
drain and place in serving dish. Pour pest over pasta and toss gently.
Optional garnishes: Chopped, steamed cauliflower, sliced black olives,
crumbled feta cheese, grated parmesan or Romano cheese, raw sunflower
seeds, or chopped red or yellow pepper.
If using oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drain. If using loose dried
tomatoes, place in a deep bowl and cover with boiling water; let steep 10
minutes and drain prior to use.
