Penne with Garlic Pesto

2/3 cup vegetable stock
2 cloves garlic
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons pine nuts
12 ounces penne pasta, uncooked
2 large tomatoes, seeded and diced

1 In a small saucepan, combine stock and garlic cloves. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until garlic is soft.

Add basil to the bowl of a food processor; chop fine. Blend in stock mixture. Add Parmesan cheese and pine nuts and chop fine. Pesto can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
