Ingredients
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning sauce)
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the sun-dried tomatoes (including a bit of the oil they are packed in), feta cheese, and olive oil.
Step 2
Add the garlic cloves, red chili flakes, fresh basil leaves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Step 3
Blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Step 4
If the sauce is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and blend until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more chili flakes for extra heat or lemon juice for additional brightness.
Step 6
Serve immediately with pasta, as a spread for sandwiches, or as a flavorful dip. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
