Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 ea Garlic cloves
1 t Salt
1 c Basil leaves
1 c Almonds, blanched &
-- roughly chopped
4 ea Tomatoes, peeled & diced
1/2 c Olive oil
Black pepper
1 lb Spaghetti

In a mortar pound the garlic, salt, and basil into a
paste; add the almonds little by little and then the
tomatoes. When all ingredients are reduced to a pulp,
add the oil and pepper to taste (This can be done in
an electric blender, in which case add the oil at the
beginning. The texture is quite different, though.)
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water, drain, and
toss in serving bowl with the pesto until it is evenly
distributed. Serve at once.
