    When it comes to pasta, White sauce pasta is my all time favorite. When we where in UK, one of Hubby's colleague frequently brings Pesto pasta for lunch. After tasting that, Hubby always tells me to give it a try. Recently in our relative's house, we had this for dinner. After tasting Pesto pasta I regretted why I didn't try this recipe before.
