Sicilian Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto (Pesto Rosso)
This is something I intend to make for such a long time and finally I decided to make it a few days ago. The taste? Oh my. It tastes so fresh that it reminds me of summer! :) It is a vibrantly-colored, deeply-flavored Sicilian condiment with almonds, garlic, herbs, and olive oil. It can be served with pasta, your favorite meats and fish, or as a delicious sandwich spread. If you like the regular pesto sauce, then you are going to LOVE this pesto rosso sauce. I paired it with some mozzarella and some wholemeal pasta. Enjoy!
