I made this dish several nights ago for dinner and it was absolutely addictive. I have never made pesto before so this was a new adventure. (I didn’t make the pesto dish from the last cookbook). It was easy to make with a food processor. The pine nuts cost $29/lb so I was glad to hear walnuts could be substituted! I did use the pine nuts this time though. I used the heavy cream but I imagine half and half would work also. I used a pasta I had not used before – Radiatore – and I really liked it. It was a good shape for the sauce to cling to. I think chicken or shrimp would have been really good in it. The tomatoes were really good. I only used 3 Roma tomatoes but next time I will use 4 – loved the flavor in the dish. I was going to cut the recipe in half since there is just two of us but I am so glad I made the full recipe – plenty of leftovers.
