Ingredients:

Serving

1 (6 oz) can tomato paste, preferably organic
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil , plus
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup pine nuts , plus
1 tbsp pine nuts
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp tomato juice, preferably organic
2 plump garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
1 lb dried mostaccioli pasta or 1 lb penne
freshly grated pecorino romano cheese

Directions:

Bring a big pot of water to a boil.
Combine the tomato paste, olive oil, pine nuts, salt, cayenne, tomato juice, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor; run the motor until you have a smooth puree; set aside at room temperature while you cook the pasta.
Generously salt the boiling water and drop in the pasta.
Cook, stirring often, until al dente.
Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
Transfer pasta to a heated serving bowl; add enough pesto to coat the noodles generously.
Add a little pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, if it seems too thick.
Sprinkle with cheese and pass more cheese and any remaining pesto at the table.
