Pesto Pasta

“Fast food”, not necessarily means instant noodles or junk food. I call pesto pasta my gourmet “instant noodles”. Recently, I am hooked on making pesto. Pesto is a versatile sauce with many uses. I like to use it to make a very quick, almost instant pesto pasta meal.

On the weekends, I will usually make a small quantity of pesto (just enough to last me for a few days) and keep the pesto sealed and chilled in the fridge. Whenever I’m hungry and fancy a quick meal, I will cook some angel hair (a quick cooking pasta which cooks in 2 minutes) and toss the pesto with the noodles. It takes me less than 5 minutes to whip up this plate with my ready stash of pesto in the fridge, almost the same time I take to cook instant noodles. How’s that for fast food? This is healthy and quite gourmet for a change from the usual fast food, and not bad for 5 minutes work. If you prefer it more fancy, you can also grill some seafood on the side and it will become seafood pesto pasta; the possibilities are limitless.
I happen to have some leftover pesto. Though it’s darkened with time, so not such a pretty green as yours 8). Thanks for this fast fresh recipe.
Beautiful plate of pasta. It is really just the same as instant noodle with artificial stock powder. Love how the pesto sticks to the pasta when you took the shot.
Wiffy, this is indeed an “instant” noodle, quick healthy delicious one meal dish.
agree, I do that too exactly like yours, a perfect meatless meal. Pine nuts make the dish more special.
