Penne with Trapanese Pesto



Aunt J gave me this recipe a few months ago.  Wish I had made it sooner!  It is so easy and good.  You can make the sauce while the pasta cooks.  While it does have some basil in it, it is a very different kind of pesto; less of a paste, more of a sauce.  It tastes delicious even with end of winter grocery store cherry tomatoes.  I think it will be even better this summer, with better quality tomatoes.  I used one large clove of garlic which was plenty.  The sauce has a good creamy consistency, but minimal dairy (some parm cheese).  The recipe is originally from Lidia B, and she has some good guidance on the order to process the ingredients that I will follow next time.

PS I am digging the camera on my new phone!
