red pesto

Sun-dried tomato paste

Red pesto is an Italian sauce similar to traditional basil pesto but made with sun-dried tomatoes, which give it a reddish color and sweeter, tangier flavor.

It typically includes olive oil, garlic, nuts, and Parmesan.

Red pesto works as a pasta sauce, spread, or dip: I tossed the linguine with red pesto and grilled chicken.
