Pasta In Pesto Broth Recipe

Pasta In Pesto Broth

From softgrey 15 years ago

Quick and easy- this is a mix between a pasta dish and a soup. Super easy and super satisfying. Total comfort food! EAT THIS WITH A SPOON!!!...

whole wheat pasta (I chose penne-orecchiette would be great- anything that will hold liquid...so it could also be small shells- but not spaghetti or anything long) shopping list
pesto - I make my own shopping list
frozen peas shopping list
a block of parmigiano cheese shopping list

Cook pasta in salted water on high heat according to package direction.
Add some frozen peas to pasta about 1/2 way through cooking.
Drain pasta/peas and reserve about 1-2 cups of the cooking liquid.
Divide pasta and peas into 2 large bowls.
Add a scoop of pesto and some cooking liquid and toss- pesto will combine with water to make a delicious broth.
Using the big side of a box grater, shred some cheese on top and stir again to give the cheese a chance to melt slightly.
Enjoy!

Hey Softie! Anything with fresh pesto holds great appeal and the embellishment of peas is one we've done, too, because my husband loves them so much. I know this is another winner.
