This pesto pasta recipe makes a terrific side side or vegetarian main course. To make this pasta recipe even more filling, add rotisserie chicken breast and chopped tomatoes.
I like to use homemade kale pesto for this pesto pasta recipe. But feel free to use store-bought basil pesto, spinach pesto or sun-dried tomato pesto.
Prep Time: 5 minutes

Preparation:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions for al dente.

Cover and refrigerate, or serve pesto pasta immediately with veggie garlic bread for a light and tasty vegetarian meal.
