    Source of Recipe


    The New BAsics Cookbook

    List of Ingredients




    2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    1 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes in puree
    1 cup drained sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, coarsely chopped (reserve oil)
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    Recipe



    Heat olive oil in saucepan. Add garlic and saute 3 minutes, do not brown. Crush tomatoes, then add, along with puree, to saucepan. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat, until very thick, about 1 hour. Remove from heat, add sun-dried tomatoes. Let rest 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to blender and blend until smooth, slowly adding 1/4 cup of the reserved sun-dried tomato oil. Transfer the pesto to bowl and stir in salt and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use, up to 3 to 4 days.
    Makes 2 1/2 cups or 4 servings.
