Then let it cool down before removing them and putting into the mixer. Add the basil leaves, garlic, grated Parmesan and pine nuts.
Complete by adding a pinch of salt and oil. Mix well till perfect consistency. Your roasted tomato pesto is ready, you just have to use it as you like.
Chef tips:
You can substitute pine nuts with almonds or hazelnuts. Also sprinkle the tomatoes with a pinch of smoked paprika, with the roasted flavor of the tomatoes it will blend perfectly.
