3\/4 cup pine nuts
\n 15 drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, 5 of them chopped
\n 1\/2 cup olive oil
\n 1\/3 cup water
\n 1 1\/4 teaspoons salt
\n 1 pound fusilli
\n 1\/4 pound spinach leaves, shredded (about 2 cups)
\n1 cup halved cherry tomatoes (about 6 ounces)
\n1\/4 cup grated Parmesan <\/p>\n

1. In a small frying pan, toast the pine nuts over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes; remove from the pan. Or toast the pine nuts in a 350\u00b0 oven for 5 to 10 minutes. <\/p>\n

2. In a blender or food processor, put 1\/4 cup of the pine nuts, the whole sun-dried tomatoes, the oil, water, 1\/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1\/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Puree until smooth. <\/p>\n

3. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the fusilli until just done, about 13 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly. <\/p>\n

4. In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, toss the pasta with the remaining 1\/2 cup toasted pine nuts, 3\/4 teaspoon salt, and 1\/4 teaspoon pepper, the pesto, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, the spinach, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan. <\/p>\n
