	Pesto doesn't necessarily mean basil. Try this red pesto with tomatoes, almonds and ricotta salata over a dish of fusilli. It's Yummy Food!

Directions
Step: 1	Peel and seed the tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and let sit for half hour to draw out most of their juice. Meanwile, blanch the almonds and mash them in a large mortar with a pestle (or food processor fitted with a steel blade) with a pinch of coarse sea salt (1/8 tsp) until ground. Add tomatoes, cheese, and the basil leaves. Keep working, drizzling extra virgin olive oil from time to time, until the sauce is soft and creamy.
