For a more intense flavor, use sun-dried tomatoes that have not been packed in oil. Rehydrate them in hot water for a longer period (about 20-30 minutes) to soften them completely. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender. You may need to scrape down the sides more often to ensure even blending. Store the pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage. Spoon the pesto into ice cube trays, freeze, then transfer the frozen cubes to a freezer bag. Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
