Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice the peppers in half lengthwise and set them onto a lightly oiled baking sheet along with the garlic cloves. Dash it all with a bit more oil.
- Bake 20 minutes, or until the pepper skins are nicely charred. Remove from heat, cool slightly and peel. Add to a food processor.
- Squeeze garlic from their skins and into the food processor they go.
- Add basil, almonds, cheese and oil. Process to form your thick pesto. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Boil the pasta to aldente, drain, and toss with the pesto.
- While pasta is cooking, boil the eggs for 5 minutes. Cool and peel. This is a great soft boil and will allow the yolks to be fairly runny, exactly what you want here.
- Divide the pasta among serving bowls. Slice the eggs in half and top the pasta. Serve
