This recipe is amazing. I've made it twice already. The first time I used canned tomatoes and the second time I used the fresh tomatoes. I tossed the fresh tomatoes with olive oil salt and pepper. I also added two whole mashed garlic cloves that I didn't add to the food processor (just threw them out after roasting). The garlic was a nice touch.
I made this recipe with the fire-roasted canned tomatoes and fresh flash frozen basil from Trader Joe's since basil is not in season. It was a huge hit for our entire family - kids and grown-ups alike. This recipe was fast and tasty. Thanks for a fantastic recipe!
Loosely followed the recipe still great! I didn't have a lot of the ingredients and ended up baking fresh Roma tomatoes with a sprinkling of basil (per fresh alteration tip) and using dried basil salt fresh red pepper chilli flakes and almonds. Not a whole lot like the original but don't shoot the college student it still tasted fantastic!
Very good and easy too After reading the positive reviews I expected this to be good -- but I was surprised at just how good it was. The flavor was rich. I served it over whole-wheat angel hair pasta and my husband and 7-year-old loved it. They usually whine about whole grain pasta but I don't think they even noticed it was whole grain this time. We will definitely have this again soon.
I love this pesto! I made the recipe exactly as written & found it needed no variation. I've shared this with friends and it's become a regular recipe for all of us.
This past weekend I friends coming over who had an overabundance of tomatoes from their garden. We followed the fresh tomato variation and the pesto was fabulous. I served this over whole wheat pasta and it's one of the few sauces I've done that can mask the flavor of whole wheat. I would definitely make this again.
Absolutely delicious! I made this as a gift to give my low-carb friends. It's so good. I followed it exactly and used canned fire-roasted tomatoes. Pros: Very easy
I made this with the fresh tomato variation that was noted in the magazine and it was excellent! The sweet tomato flavor is perfect with the toasted nuts. I am sad that I'm nearly out of tomatoes from my garden because I'm unsure whether the fire-roasted canned tomatoes will be as good.
I made this with about a third of the tomatoes (canned fire roasted) called for in the recipe. Very very good!
