Step 1
Boil pasta in salted water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.

Pulse basil, almonds, garlic, lemon zest, and 0.25 cup olive oil in a food processor until chunky-textured.
Step 3
Toss warm pasta with the basil mixture, cherry tomatoes, and lemon juice in the pasta pot.
Step 4
Add pasta water a splash at a time, stirring, until the sauce coats the noodles and looks glossy.
