Recipe Notes

Fresh Tomato Variation: You can also make this pesto with fresh, in-season tomatoes. Start with 3 pounds fresh plum tomatoes, cut into quarters and divide them between 2 large baking sheets. Roast at 400° for 30 minutes. Use the roasted tomatoes in place of the diced tomatoes in Step 2.
