My Sicily Pesto

Inspired by a recent visit, but also confined to what was in the fridge! Such self-satisfaction using the last bits of leftovers to make something so tasty! Serve with some grated parmesan, if you like.

a bunch of rucola
some parsley
handful of almonds
2-3 walnuts
3-4 anchovies
3 tblsp of capers
sprinkle of chili pepper (or piment de l'espelette)
8-10 sultanas
lemon zest
squeeze of lemon
3/4 clove garlic
maldon sea salt
lots of EVOO
  1. put all ingredients in mixer and blitz, adding enough EVOO so that it becomes smooth 
  2. boil pasta, reserve some pasta water
  3. put pesto in pan on very low heat for a few seconds, add pasta water, then pasta and mix
