Basil Pesto Pasta

My kids love, love pasta. Today when I told them I made the pasta with homemade basil pesto they were excited. Thumbs up for this yummy pasta. They liked it and gave me a suggestion to make it more and try Tomato Basil Pesto.   Sure, anything for my kids and to see smiles on their faces.

I used Basil pesto which was my last post to make this pasta. Pasta tastes so good with the freshly made pesto. Check the Basil Pesto recipe. Leftover Pesto can be used in sandwiches too.
