Pasta alla Trapanese

Recipe:

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Almonds
2 Garlic Cloves, Peeled & Minced
1 (14 Ounce) Can Chopped Tomatoes
1/2 Cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Red Hot Pepper Flakes
1/3 Cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1/3 Cup SOOC Basil Extra Virgin Olive Oil
(Substitute Basil EVOO with our Baklouti Green Chili EVOO for an extra kick!)
Salt & Pepper
1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Pound Pasta Of Choice

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and place the almonds on a baking sheet. Roast just until the almonds begin to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Place the almonds in a food processor along with the garlic, canned tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, basil, and olive oil. Pulse until the mixture is finely ground but not pureed. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water until it is “al dente.” Drain, and toss the pasta with the sauce and grated cheese.

Serve immediately, garnishing with basil leaves. Enjoy!
