Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
  2. Peel the garlic and pick the basil leaves, setting some aside for garnish.
  3. Put the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and basil into a blender.
  4. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions, stirring now and then so it doesn't stick.
  5. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Dry-toast the almonds for a few minutes, then add them to the blender.
  6. When the pasta is done, add about ¼ cup of pasta water to the blender, along with the oregano, salt and crushed pepper flakes. Blend on medium-high for about 30 seconds.
  7. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
  8. Return the pan to medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the pasta and ¼ cup of the pesto, stir, and add a splash of water.
  9. Cook for 1–2 minutes. Turn off the heat and fold in the reserved basil.
  10. Plate and finish with freshly cracked pepper to taste.
