Notes

  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat on the stovetop with a splash of water to revive the flavors.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the cooked pasta and pesto mixture for up to a month. Just remember to thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Pairing: This dish pairs beautifully with a light salad or crusty bread to soak up any extra sauce.
  • Protein Addition: Consider adding grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein. Just toss them in at the end for a heartier meal.
  • Vegetable Boost: Feel free to add sautéed vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers for additional nutrients and flavor.
