Ingredients
* 1 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (one 8 1/2 ounce jar), drained, rinsed, patted dry, and chopped very coarse
* 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 1/4 cup walnuts , toasted in small dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 6 minutes

Instructions
1. In food processor, pulse sun-dried tomatoes, oil, walnuts, garlic, Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until smooth, about fifteen 2-second pulses, scraping down bowl as needed. Transfer to small bowl and set aside.
