Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto and Feta Cheese
The oil in the sun-dried tomatoes gives the almond-spiced pesto a rich consistency.
1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated fresh linguine
3/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves, drained
1/4 cup loosely packed basil leaves
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
2 tablespoons preshredded fresh Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
Cook pasta according to the package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain
through a sieve over a bowl, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Return pasta to pan.
While pasta cooks, place tomatoes and next 6 ingredients (through black pepper)
in a food processor; process until finely chopped.
Combine tomato mixture and the reserved 1 cup cooking liquid, stirring with a
whisk. Add to pasta; toss well to coat. Sprinkle with feta.
Makes 4 servings (serving size: 1 cup)
