How to Make Rigatoni with red pesto

Instructions

Step 1

The first thing is to roast the garlic cloves with the skin for 200 about 10 minutes. Once roasted, peel them and reserve them.

Step 2

In a pot, bring plenty of water to a boil with a teaspoon of salt. When it boils, add the pasta and cook it according to the instructions on the package (I left it al dente)

Step 3

In a mincer, add the peeled roasted garlic, tomatoes, diced Parmesan cheese, almonds, oil, vinegar and salt to taste. We shred

Step 4

We test and adjust for salt or acidity if we wish.

Step 5

When the pasta is cooked, we take it out drained but without throwing away the cooking water that we will reserve it.

Step 6

Put the rigatoni in a bowl, add a few tablespoons of the pesto, mix and with a ladle we gradually add the water from the previous cooking. We mix until we get a creamy sauce.
