* While the pasta is cooking, put the almonds in a blender or food processor and blend for a few seconds until you get something that resembles an almond meal.

* Add the tomatoes (if using vine tomatoes, cut them in half), extra-virgin olive oil, washed basil leaves, peeled garlic clove, capers, salt, and blend until you reach a smooth, creamy consistency. Taste and add more salt if needed.
