| 440 g tin tomatoes |
| 2 garlic cloves (chopped) or two teaspoons of minced garlic |
| 1 to 2 tablespoons of pine nuts, toasted (Do this carefully on asheet of foil under the grill) |
| 1/2 teaspoon of salt |
| Optional: A tablespoon of grated parmesan (recommended, but depends on how low fat you're aiming for) |
Method
| Throw everything into a food processor |
| Let it rip until everything is processed together. Degree of smoothness is a matter of personal preference. |
Use as for any pesto. Great as a pasta sauce.
