Pesto Pasta With Asparagus Recipe
Make sure to repin this recipe
Summer is coming to an end – which is a little bittersweet to me ( though I am not going to miss that heat). To celebrate the end of summer I thought it would be fun to share with you one of my favorite pasta dishes.
This is one that I put together any day during the week. It is something that I can make in under 20 minutes and I can make it gluten free so I can enjoy it too!
Also this dish is amazing when it is cold. So I normally have it for dinner and have the leftovers for lunch the next day.
Do you like pesto? I personally love it when it is good…. I personally love making it at home – Go HERE for my homemade pesto recipe
This is all you will need – again this is a very simple recipe with tons of flavor. What I like to do is heat the olive oil with the sun-dried tomatoes – this really helps heighten the flavor.
You can also add a couple cloves of garlic if you want.
This is what the sauce is looking like putting everything together.
So I was not planning in putting fresh tomatoes in the dish but my mom had some Roma tomatoes from her garden so I included it. Always feel free to adapt my recipes to fit your tastes.
