Red Pesto Pasta - The same thing applies to the type of pesto used: I put dairy-free pesto but any red pesto will do the trick. This red pesto (the third in our Italian flag-hued pestos, after green and white) tastes like a mash-up of your favorite spicy arrabbiata sauce and the savory anchovy-garlic dip bagna cauda.

Let's talk less about the pasta and more about the pesto - after all that's what makes this red pesto pasta special :-) Pesto has as interestingly long history - in various guises it can trace its roots back to the Ancient Roman age.

Pasta I use Rigatoni for this recipe, it's perfect for this creamy sauce and when the sauce collects in the hollow tubes, that's just perfect.

Fusilli or penne are also great pasta for this recipe, as is whole wheat pasta.

Red Pesto Pasta - It's easy to whip up, simply put the pasta on whilst you make your sauce in a blender. Make sure to save some of the pasta water to add to the pesto later! We've used spaghetti but it's perfect with any pasta of your choice. I also added some slice crimini mushrooms some sliced roasted red peppers more sundried tomatoes and a sprinkle of parmesan. After the chicken and mushrooms were cooked I tossed in the sundried tomatoes and red peppers then tossed in the cooked whole wheat rotini pasta and the pesto while keeping the pan on low. Want a quick and easy pick-me-up for pasta, chicken, fish, eggs, and so much more? This thick, intensely flavored paste — typically made of basil, olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and pine nuts — makes ordinary recipes sing out with joy. Thank you and good luck
