Method
Rigatoni with almond, tomato and basil sauce
-
1Cook rigatoni in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water according to packet directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking water.
-
2Meanwhile, place tomato, basil, garlic, lemon rind and half of almonds in a food processor and process until well chopped. With motor running, add oil in a thin, steady stream and process until sauce is almost smooth but still retains texture. Season to taste.
-
3Transfer sauce to a medium saucepan on low heat. Toss through pasta until well coated, adding a little reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed. Serve pasta topped with extra basil, remaining almonds and parmesan.
