Creamy Pesto Pasta SaladIngredients:
1 pound pasta (any shape) 1 cup prepared pesto sauce 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained) 1/2 cup chopped red onion 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts Salt and pepper to tasteInstructions:
1.
Cook the pasta according to package directions.
Drain and rinse with cold water.
2.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pesto, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and basil.
3.
Add the drained pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, and pine nuts to the bowl.
4.
Toss to coat.
5.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips:
For a richer flavor, use homemade pesto instead of prepared.
If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes, you can substitute grape tomatoes or chopped bell peppers.
To toast the pine nuts, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
It’s a great make-ahead dish for picnics or potlucks.
