Ingredients

Method

In small dry skillet, toast pine nuts over medium heat, shaking pan often, until light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to food processor and let cool.

In heatproof bowl, cover tomatoes with 1/2 cup (125 mL) boiling water; soak until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 2 tbsp (25 mL) soaking liquid. Add tomatoes and reserved soaking liquid to food processor.

Add tomato paste, pepper and salt; finely chop. With motor running, add oil in thin steady stream until pureed. Pulse in Parmesan cheese and garlic. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 6 months.)
