Pesto pasta, I just found out, is one of many’s favorite alternative pasta dish from the usual red sauce and white sauce pasta. But most of us only eat pesto pasta from Italian restaurants or spaghetti houses.
Luckily, Contadina makes it easy for us moms now to make our own pesto pasta dishes. I was just craving for that pesto taste when I saw my Contadina Pesto sitting comfortably on my pantry. And since I also have a stock of Jolly mushrooms, and a brick of Eden cheese, but all my meat were frozen, I thought why not make a no-meat pasta dish.
So without further ado, here’s my recipe.

Contadina Pesto Alla Genovese Sauce – the secret ingredient
Contadina Pesto Alla Genovese Sauce is made from Italian Basil, Cheese, Cashew & Pine Nuts. It eliminates the need to process these separate ingredients because you already have them all in one bottle.
The good thing about this dish is that you can choose to serve and eat this without meat or you can just mix in your favorite ingredients : fried chicken slices, tuna flakes, broccoli, shrimp or you might want to put in clams or shells! You can also freely adjust the amount of Contadina Pesto on your pasta to suit your taste. Some of us want the deep pesto taste while some just like the hint of it.
