Notes, pro-tips, and quick FAQs -
For pesto
Use any type of herbs in place of basil. Some good options are mint, parsley, cilantro, rosemary, etc.
Swap out the almonds for walnuts, pinenuts, pistachios, or any of your favorite nuts.
If not making this dish Vegan, use 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese in pesto. You can also sprinkle some on top of the pasta dish.
Switch up the flavor by adding olives, roasted red peppers, or avocado.
Swap out the balsamic vinegar for lemon juice or white wine.
I don't prefer to add more oil in my pesto, but you can add if you want more nutty flavors.
Use roasted almonds for extra flavors.
Use pesto dishes according to your liking. I have used 3/4 of the pesto in my 8 oz. fettuccini pasta. I would suggest adding in a small portion first, then taste and more if required.
For pasta
You can use any pasta of your choice.
If boiling pasta on the stovetop, cook it according to the package instructions. If using Instant pot for cooking pasta, half the time mentioned on the package. E.g, If it says to boil the pasta in boiling water for 8 minutes, reduce the time from 8 minutes to minutes in an instant pot.
You can add any greens instead of spinach-like kale, arugula or chard.
For the crunch, you may top this dish with roasted nuts.
If cooking pasta on the stovetop, reserve some pasta water to add if you would like your pasta to be little saucy.
Be careful while adding salt in pasta as well as in pesto.
DRY-PACKED VS. OIL PACKED SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
You’ll usually find two types of sun-dried tomatoes at the market: dry-packed and oil-packed. Either can be used for this recipe.
If using Dry-packed tomatoes, add 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil while making the pesto.
Be sure to read the labels. Sometimes the oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes have herbs and garlic added. They’re delicious too.
But if you are using those types of flavored sundried tomatoes, skip garlic and herbs in this recipe.
I usually prefer to control the quantities of seasonings in most recipes myself, so I buy the plain version of oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes.
How do you store the tomato pesto?
Pesto can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week OR in the freezer for 3-4 months.
Can you make pesto without a food processor?
Of course!
If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a high-powered blender, like I did, to make pesto.
How many days we can store this pasta?
This pasta can be stored up to a week in the fridge. Just add about 1/2 cup of water and reheat the pasta in the microwave or on the stovetop.
I don't prefer to freeze this pasta as we don't like the texture of freezer pasta.
