Tomatoes’ strong, savory flavor can help satisfy us sooner, so we may eat less without trying. We added almonds to up the slim-down factor: Dieters who ate the nuts daily lost 56 percent more fat than those who didn’t, a study from Loma Linda University finds; the nuts’ fiber may prevent fat absorption.
In a small pan over medium heat, toast almonds until golden brown, 5 minutes.
In a food processor, pulse almonds, parsley, tomatoes, garlic and oil until slightly chunky.
Pour into a bowl; season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Add mozzarella; toss to combine.
Cook pasta as directed on package; drain and toss immediately with pesto.
