1. Cook pasta according to pack instructions. Blend together the almonds, cheese, most of the basil and all of the olive oil in a food processor until they form a chunky paste. Drain pasta, then stir through pesto and tomatoes.
2. Spoon onto serving plates, then serve sprinkled with the remaining basil leaves.

  quick & easy, but using the right weight of Almonds overbalanced the flavour in my opinion, and works better with a couple more tomatoes.
