    Should I rehydrate the tomato first?

    Do you think we could substitute the harissa for something else?

    Hey Preksha! You can leave it out completely and it will still be delicious. Or for a different flavour profile, you can substitute with 1 tbsp of curry paste :)

    Made this without smoked almonds, and it was delicious. The best hack for crispiest & delicious gnocchi is to toss them in some cornflower just before frying - they come out perfect!

    Really nice zingy sauce! I somehow made loads of pesto so will have some for lunch tomorrow. I used mixed nuts and seeds instead of smoked almonds as couldn’t find them and it was a lovely texture. A good recipe to have in the repertoire!!

    I roasted fresh cherry tomatoes from the garden with garlic and used them instead of sun dried tomato. Fabulous flavor. You could get away with less parm if desired.

    Upped the garlic and ingredients in general, to make it a batch ( to last for a couple of dinners) definitely has a punchy flavour - a thousand times better fresh, than store bought - a 15 minute keeper! Thanks again , Mob!

    First time making red pesto myself and this one is super rich and punchy so goes really well with gnocchi! We doubled the portions and needed to add a but more oil to the pesto so it was a bit smoother and also have no idea where to fnd smoked almods so just used normal but seemed ok!

    This was tasty and easy to make but portion sizes for 3 people are way too small… only worked out about 4 mouthfuls each when served
