Cooking Instructions

Add the walnuts to the mixer and mix them alone first for a little bit. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes, the basil, the olive oil and the parmesan. Start mixing and add olive and a tiny bit of water if needed.

When the mixture is a smooth(ish) consistency remove from the mixer into a bowl and add the ricotta. Mix it together until it's mixed together with the pesto. I don't like to add the ricotta to the mixer directly as the speed of the blade warms the cheese.

If you are using it with pasta, make the pasta as per usual and drain it al dente. Put the pasta back in the pot and add the pesto and mix together. It doesn't need to be warmed as the pasta is piping hot.

Homemade tomato pesto Homemade tomato pesto
I was making Pasta and Rice for lunch on Saturday and wanted to top it off with something other than sauce. Actually, I do have a delicious Lemon Sauce recipe but I didn’t have lemons on hand so I made Tomato Pesto with some tomatoes that I picked up a few days ago, which I absolutely love. Now, that I think of it I think my next post might just be the Lemon Sauce for Pasta. Not sure will have to check if I have all the ingredients. hehehheI don’t really like to add Basil into my recipes, because I find the taste and smell to be a bit intense. But I did add just a few pieces of Basil into this recipe. (Now if you enjoy the intense taste then go ahead and add as much as you want) Maybe this is one of the reasons I do not eat Garlic.My husband doesn’t like to eat Pesto, so this was a nice opportunity for me to make something I truly enjoy. I always add a few fresh tomatoes when making my Pesto, and beat it just a few minutes more so that they can combine with the sun dried tomatoes. You might just like this recipe…a bit different but still tastes gooddddd!!!
