Recipe(tried): Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta

SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO PASTA
Serves 2

1 cup water
3/4 cup (1 1/2 ounces) sun-dried tomatoes
2 plum tomatoes, quartered (3/4 cup)
1 small garlic clove
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon pine nuts
1/4 pound spaghetti
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Boil 3 to 4 quarts of water. In a separate pot, heat 1 cup of water. (This can be done in a microwave for 2 minutes on high.) Add sun-dried tomatoes to the 1 cup water and soak 5 minutes. Remove the tomatoes from water, reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid. Place the liquid, the dried tomatoes, plum tomatoes, garlic, oil and vinegar in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Remove to a serving bowl and add Parmesan cheese and pine nuts. Boil spaghetti 9 minutes or until done. Drain, add to the pesto and toss well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
