Ingredients:

Serving

2 garlic cloves
3/4 cup slivered blanched almonds (3 oz)
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tomatoes (1/2 lb total), peeled ( see cooks' note, below), quartered, and seeded
1 oz pecorino romano or parmigiano-reggiano (1/2 cup)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes (6 oz), halved
1 lb dried fettuccine ( not egg)
garnish: fresh basil leaves

Directions:

Purée garlic, almonds, basil, salt, and pepper in a food processor until almonds are coarsely ground. Add quartered tomatoes and cheese to purée and process until mixture is fairly smooth. With motor running, add oil in a stream and blend until incorporated. Transfer pesto to a large bowl and stir in grape tomatoes.
Cook fettuccine in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until just al dente. Drain pasta and toss with sauce. Serve immediately.
Cooks' note: To peel tomatoes, first cut an X in the end opposite the stem, then immerse in boiling water 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water, then peel.
