Pesto Penne


This, my friends, is my new favorite summer dish.

EVER.

This is the most awesomest & most brilliant and delicious thing I've eaten in quite a while.

And the best part about it, is that it's super quick and easy!


Recipe:

  • 1 box of penne pasta - boiled
  • 1 package of pesto sauce - prepared
  • 1 box of cherry tomatoes
  • fresh mozzeralla
  • kosher salt

boil the pasta until it's al dente, splash with a little bit of olive oil & set aside to cool
prepare the pesto & set it aside to cool a little bit, then pour over the pasta & toss well.
while that's cooling, chop the fresh mozzerella into bite sized pieces. put it in the pasta & pesto & toss well again. this time, add some kosher salt
half the cherry tomatoes, add to the mix & toss well again.

and that is it!

it's so good i almost cried. seriously.

i will give you this piece of advice on this:
be sure that the pasta & pesto have cooled well before adding the cheese, or it will melt. not that that's a big deal, but this is a cool to room temp served dish & the cheese really shouldn't be all melty for this.

i see myself eating this all summer.
