Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the pasta according to pack instructions, then drain. Toss the hot pasta and rocket through the pesto and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Add the remaining chopped tomatoes to the bowl with the pecorino and some extra toasted flaked almonds, then serve.
