Ingredients:
- several sprinkles of sea salt
- handful of grated pecorino (about 1/2 cup)
- a generous splash of olive oil (about 1/3 cup)
Directions:
- Sauté the almonds in a little olive oil until tan.
- Put basil, garlic, and salt in food processor and chop. Put aside.
- Put in almonds and pulse until size of orzo.
- Put tomatoes, almonds, basil garlic, cheese, and olive oil back in food processor and whir briefly. Add some fresh-ground coarse pepper.
- Boil linguine. If you are Sicilian, become hysterical at the prospect of overcooked pasta. Break open a strand every 60 seconds, and when there is one tiny white speck at the center, drain instantly. Save a cupful of pasta water.
- Put pasta in with pesto and mix quickly. Add a little pasta water if necessary. Serve lukewarm or at room temperature.
