Pesto Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes

Use your favorite pesto recipe if you have one then mix with the ricotta cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • a few dashes of pepper
  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 20 cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  • Use a food processor to blend together the basil, parsley, Parmesan, salt, pepper, olive oil and garlic. If you don't have a food processor you can use a blender but will need to stir often. If you don't have either, chop it all up really really fine.
  • Mix the pesto with the ricotta.
  • Make an X in the bottom of each tomato cherry almost to the top. Gently spread it open and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Spoon the pesto-ricotta mix into each tomato.
