- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes optional

- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Add sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, roasted almonds, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, garlic cloves, salt and pepper to taste, and red chili flakes to a food processor.

Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Nutrition values mentioned below are for one large jar full and not individual serving.
- Best use the ones soaked in olive oil. I used dry-packed tomatoes. Using oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes gives a richer, deep-flavored pesto. The red hue of the pesto completely depends on the type of sun-dried tomatoes you use.
- Use the best quality EVOO, pesto taste depends on it.
- Blitz pesto to either to chunky consistency or smooth consistency.
