PESTO ALLA SICILIANA



Pesto alla Siciliana image

This is the recipe for the authentic pesto from Sicily. It combines a traditional pesto with Sicilian delights: ricotta cheese and tomatoes. It has a light and refreshing flavor. Enjoy it with tubular pasta so the pesto finds its way inside the tubes for a burst of Sicilian flavor with every bite! Seeding the tomatoes first allows the mixture to be thicker so it sticks better to the pasta.

A bold sauce incorporating the flavors of Sicily like raisins, anchovies, and capers coat the long strands of spaghetti in this easy weeknight dinner.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 red bell pepper
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes (5 medium), cored and quartered
