Description

This Trapanese almond pesto is a real treat! I often prepare it during the summer, when the cherry tomatoes are at their peak of flavor. The combination of fresh cherry tomatoes, crunchy almonds, fragrant basil and grated pecorino creates a rich and flavorful dressing, perfect for dressing pasta or spreading on croutons. The preparation is very simple and quick, ideal for a light lunch or an informal dinner. A touch of Sicily that will conquer everyone!
