Pasta with spicy red pesto

Prepare the pasta according to the package instructions. Roughly chop the tomatoes and add them to a blender. Peel the garlic, chop it roughly, and add it. Split the chili pepper, remove the seeds, and cut into pieces (wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly afterward; the chili juice burns terribly if it gets into your eyes or mouth). Add it to the blender. Add the remaining ingredients and process everything into a paste, stirring occasionally. Season to taste. Serve the pesto with the pasta; 1 tbsp – 1 1/2 tbsp is enough per plate of spaghetti.
