Chef Notes: This is a great sauce for pasta salad because it's delicious at room temperature. You could also slather it on bruschetta, grilled fish, or chicken. Or make a brunch dish by topping a thick slice of toast with proscuitto, a poached egg, and a little of this summer pesto. In summer, when you can get your hands on vine-ripe tomatoes, you don't even need to peel them. To intensify the flavor, you can add a few Oven-Dried Tomatoes. The pesto keeps several days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
4 cups peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped tomatoes
5 cloves minced garlic
30 large fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Sea salt, preferably gray salt, and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated ParmesanCombine the tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the cheese and blend briefly just to mix. Transfer to a bowl and adjust the seasoning.
