--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   6       ea           Garlic cloves
   1       t            Salt
   1       c            Basil leaves
   1       c            Almonds, blanched &
                        -- roughly chopped
   4       ea           Tomatoes, peeled & diced
     1/2   c            Olive oil
                        Black pepper
   1       lb           Spaghetti

  In a mortar pound the garlic, salt, and basil into a
  paste; add the almonds little by little and then the
  tomatoes.  When all ingredients are reduced to a pulp,
  add the oil and pepper to taste (This can be done in
  an electric blender, in which case add the oil at the
  beginning. The texture is quite different, though.)
  Cook the pasta in boiling salted water, drain, and
  toss in serving bowl with the pesto until it is evenly
  distributed. Serve at once.
