My family loves this pesto so much that this dish is now on a regular rotation in our house. It’s super delicious, filling, crazy healthy and the best part is you feel like you’re eating a big bowl of pasta. It’s also incredibly quick and easy to make. This recipe tastes great cold or you can sauté the noodles for a couple of minutes in a pan and then toss with the pesto sauce.
