This Tuscan Almond Pesto is a reworking of the classic sauce that can be used for almost everything. Instead of the traditional ingredients we have substituted rosemary for basil, almonds for pine nuts and sun-dried tomatoes for parmesan. The result is a savory and nutty sauce that is quite textural, a touch gritty and very more-ish. With some olives for salt and some balsamic vinegar to balance out with a hint of sweetness, this sauce is a well rounded and unique one that will definitely impress.
