Steps:
- 1. In a small skillet, add the almonds and toast. Stir constantly to prevent them from burning. Add 1/4 cup of the almonds to your food processor - reserve the remaining 1/4 cup.
- 2. Remove stems from the cilantro and wash the cilantro. Tear the leaves into a cup measure -- 1/14 cups tightly packed. Add the cilantro leaves, garlic, olive oil, salt, cayenne and 1/4 cup water to the almonds. Process until smooth, but not completely pureed. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and pour into a large pasta bowl. Stir in the cheese.
- 3. Cook pasta according to pkg. instructions to al dente. Drain pasta and immediately add it to the pesto. Toss to mix well. Garnish with remaining almonds.
