    Roasted Potatoes with Sun-dried Tomato Pesto

    Ingredients

    • Potatoes:
    • 16 oz teeny tiny potatoes (from Trader Joe’s)
    • 6 garlic cloves
    • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
    • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • Pesto:
    • 12 sun-dried tomato halves
    • ½ cup toasted pine nuts
    • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
    • ½ cup fat free ricotta cheese
    • ¼ cup grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese
    • 2 tablespoons jarred sweet roasted red peppers with 1 tablespoon of the liquid
    • ½ cup fresh basil, chopped

    Directions:

    • Potatoes:
    • 1. Clean the potatoes and dry them well.
    • 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    • 3. Place the potatoes and garlic cloves in a bowl. Toss with the olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper until well coated. Transfer to a baking sheet and spread out evenly.
    • 4. Roast in the oven, until golden on the outside and cooked through on the inside, about 20 – 25 minutes.
    • 5. Season as necessary. If the outer layer of the garlic cloves don’t fall off on their own while cooking, remove the skin after they have cooled.
    • Pesto:
    • 1. Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl. Cover with boiling water and let soak until soft, about 15 minutes.
    • 2. Transfer the tomatoes to a food processor. Add the ricotta cheese, Parmesan, fresh basil, olive oil, sweet red peppers and a tablespoon or so of the liquid from the roasted red pepper jar, the toasted pine nuts and salt. Pulse a few times in the processor. Add a few tablespoons of the soaking liquid from the sun tomatoes until you have your desired consistency. Pulse a few more times and process until smooth.
