red-pepper-pesto-pasta

This is a very fun pesto. Light, fresh, and one of those things that feels even better when you’re making it outside, in the garden, with a mortar and pestle. Instead of the classic green pesto, this one leans into sweet, slightly tangy red peppers, walnuts, and herbs. It’s simple, flexible, and comes together so easily. Tossed with pasta, good olive oil, Pecorino, and finished with a little sumac: it’s bright, savory, and just a little unexpected.
