SUN DRIED TOMATO PESTO
Sun dried tomato pesto also called a pesto rosso is an Italian red pesto made with sun dried tomatoes. It’s a little sweet, tangy and it is such a fun and delicious twist on a traditional pesto!
HOW TO MAKE IT
INGREDIENTS
Sun dried tomatoes – I used dry-packed sun dried tomatoes for this recipe. You can also use oil-packed and just add less olive oil!
Nuts – cashews, pine nuts, almonds and walnuts work best!
Garlic cloves
Extra virgin olive oil
Red pepper flakes
First, toast nuts on a stovetop until golden brown. That brings out all the flavor. Let it cool. In a high speed blender or food processor, place all the ingredients and blend until smooth. Check out this sun dried tomato pesto pasta I made using the same pesto recipe!
PIZZA CRUST
This homemade pizza dough is my favorite one to make but you can use pre frozen crust if you’re short on time. In this recipe, I used my favorite frozen Trader Joe’s pizza crust! It’s made with only a few simple ingredients and so good!
HOW TO MAKE SUN DRIED TOMATO PIZZA WITH FETA
1. Make the sun dried tomato pesto.
2. If using fresh dough, roll it out. If using frozen, take it out of the freezer, don’t thaw.
3. Spread the pesto over pizza crust, top with shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbs of feta cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Garnish with fresh arugula. I like to toss arugula with fresh lemon or squeeze it directly on top.
