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 basil pesto for this pesto pasta recipe. But feel free to use store-bought basil pesto, spinach pesto or sun-dried tomato pesto.
