This pasta recipe is quick, easy, and absolutely delicious – perfect for any day of the week. Whether it’s for your family or friends, this dish will have them talking about it for a long time to come!

Prep:  30 mins.  Servings: 4

Preparation

STEP 1

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil.

STEP 2

Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil in a large frypan or a heavy-based pan over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced red onion and season it with salt and a pinch of red chili flakes. Cook and stir occasionally for about 10-15 minutes or until the onion is completely cooked through but not browned.

STEP 3

Add the anchovy fillets and stir them into the onion mixture for about 30 seconds until they melt into the pan. Then, add two tablespoons of tomato paste and cook for about 90 seconds or until the paste turns a brick-red color and sticks to the bottom of the pan.

STEP 4

Pour in the sun-dried tomatoes, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook and swirl the pan occasionally until the sauce thickens and has a delicious taste. Add more salt and red chili flakes if desired. Keep the sauce warm and set it aside.

STEP 5

Cook the bucatini or spaghetti pasta in the boiling water as directed on the package. Reserve one cup of the cooking water and drain the rest.

STEP 6

Add the drained pasta into the frypan, along with 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Toss everything together to coat the pasta well in the sauce. Cook and toss the pasta occasionally until each piece is coated with the sauce perfectly.

STEP 7

Take the frypan off the heat and transfer the pasta into a large bowl or four smaller ones. Top each bowl with lots of grated parmesan cheese, pieces of basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.

Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Recipe

This recipe is extremely flexible, so think of it more as a set of guidelines. Don’t have Parmesan? Pecorino or asiago work just as well. I’ve even used feta. As for the nuts, slightly bitter Marcona Almond are my favorite to balance the natural sweetness of the tomatoes, but I’ve used peanuts, almonds, and pecans and loved them all. If I have a jar of roasted sweet red peppers on hand, I cut them into quarters and add one or two to the mix for more sweetness, but if you don’t have them, then don’t stress.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup Marcona Almond
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 to 2 roasted red pepper quarters, from a jar (about 1/4 cup, optional)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Preparation:
  1. Toast the Marcona Almond: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the nuts on a sheet pan in a single layer. Toast for 6 to 8 minutes or until fragrant and lightly colored. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  2. Start processing the ingredients: Place the half of the sun-dried tomatoes along with all the Marcona Almond, cheeses, garlic, salt, pepper, chili flakes and preserved roasted red pepper (if using) into a food processor or blender. Pulse a few times until chopped well.
  3. Add the rest of the tomatoes and the oil: Next, add the rest of the sun-dried tomatoes and the oil they’re packed in. (Splitting up the tomatoes will add some variance in texture.) With the motor running, steam in the olive oil, pausing to scrape down the sides once or twice, until the pesto has a uniform, but not-quite-pureed, consistency. (You want to ensure there’s still a bit of chunkiness to get a nice, toothsome texture.) Use right away or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months for when needed.
