Pesto pasta is a simple yet delicious dinner option that can be made in minutes. The pasta is cooked until al dente and then tossed with a vibrant and flavorful pesto sauce. The sauce is made with fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. It adds a burst of freshness and herbaceousness to the pasta. Serve it with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese and a side of garlic bread.
