Hi there, today in my senior foods class we made pesto pasta!! This was a quick and easy meal, we made both the pasta and the pesto from scratch. We used fresh and delicious ingredients. Making the pesto was my favorite part. The pesto left the whole classroom smelling like fresh basil and toasted nuts. This dish was so flavorful and delicious. unlike most pasta dishes, this one was light and left you feeling full but not like you just ate a whole bowl of pasta. this is a reasonably healthy dish because of the fresh greens in the pesto sauce and the addition of the homemade pasta.
