Easy Basil Pesto Pasta Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup basil pesto
2 cups macaroni or pasta of your choice
1/2 cup bacon bits
mix... soooo easy right?
for the basil pesto recipe:
1 cup fresh basil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
dash of ground black pepper
you can also use pine nuts, but I personally don't like the taste of it so I'll pass.
pulse the mixture in a food processor until it looks like pesto!

mmmm I LOVE pesto!! what a great healthy yummy invention hehehe
ReplyDeleteI sometimes use walnuts instead of pine nuts because pine nuts are so darn expensive - but I'll have to try it like this, with no nuts sometime... that would just make it that much easier to make on the fly
