Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup slivered almonds
28 oz can diced fire-roasted tomatoes , drained
14 oz can diced fire-roasted tomatoes , drained
3/4 cup fresh basil (lightly packed)
1 tbsp red-wine vinegar
1 tsp red-wine vinegar
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (or to taste)
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

Toast almonds in a large dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly.
Transfer the almonds to a food processor and process until finely ground. Add tomatoes, basil, vinegar and crushed red pepper. As the processor is running, drizzle in oil in a steady stream, about 30 seconds. Stir in Parmesan and salt.
Fresh Tomato Variation: You can also make this pesto with fresh, in-season tomatoes. Start with 3 pounds fresh plum tomatoes, cut into quarters and divide them between 2 large baking sheets. Roast at 400° for 30 minutes. Use the roasted tomatoes in place of the diced tomatoes in Step 2.
