Sun dried tomato pesto is one of my favorite pesto’s. Having just oven dried my own tomatoes I had to try making the pesto with them. I used the same recipe that I always do replacing the sun dried tomatoes with the oven dried tomatoes. The pesto turned out pretty good. The oven dried tomatoes gave the pesto a really nice concentrated tomato flavour.

As usual, your food inspires and makes me want to go cook it 🙂
I would agree that the oven dried tomatoes you have made would be perfect for the pesto!!!!
Yum Looks good! I like the flavours!
A great idea for this time of year. And since I’m actually wearing a sweater….I probably don’t even need an air conditioner to help me through the oven-drying process.
Thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights.
