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.
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- In a large Saucepan, add water and salt, and let the water come to a boil while you prep other ingredients
- Place Zucchini, yellow bell pepper and broccoli in a oven tray, cook it for 10 mins in the oven
- As soon as the water comes to a boil add the pasta, stir and reduce heat to medium. Cook pasta as directed on the package and drain the pasta
- Add oil to the pan, When oil is hot, add the minced garlic, and saute for one minute. Then add spring onion and pesto, saute for a min. Add oven cooked zucchini, yellow bell pepper and broccoli and gently stir to combine
- Add the drained pasta to the vegetable/pesto combination and gently mix together. Add grated cheese and switch off. Serve hot
