Spaghetti with almond pesto (009)

Hi Dudes,

I am back in Amsterdam. It was a nice week in Germany with a lot of sunshine.
Today I want to post a recipe that Jan-Ole sent me. It's a really tasty self-made pesto based on almonds and basil.

For 2 people you need

Spaghetti / 250 - 300 g

Almonds / roasted, 90 g

Cherry tomatoes / 14 small and sweet

Garlic / 1 glove

Basil leaves / handful

Good olive oil / 5 tbsp

Sea salt

Preparation

- Coarsely chop almonds in a blender. I use a dicer-extension from Esge for my hand blender. Just blend it for a couple of seconds. Fill it in a small bowl and put it aside.

- Put the garlic, 8 tomatoes, basil and sea salt in the dicer and blend everything medium fine.

- Add olive oil and the mixture to the bowl with almonds.

- Start cooking spaghetti in salted water.

- Meanwhile sear the rest of the tomatoes in a pan with a little bit of oil.

- Mix the spaghetti with the pesto and decorate with a basil leaf and the tomatoes.

Enjoy!
