Pesto Pasta Recipes

This is a nice healthy pesto dish without all of the added oil. I only added 1 tsp of Olive Oil and used Greek yogurt to make the sauce. this is so simple and yet so tasty. Allot of flavor in this dish. You can have it warm or cold. Were having it as a cold pasta for tomorrow nights dinner. I thought all the flavors would really incorporate over the evening.

Deeeelishamous!

Prosciutto, peas, broccoli, and mushrooms in a pasta with pesto! What more could a girl want?

A flip on pesto sauce- this uses spinach instead of pesto. Unless you're like me; I add both spinach and basil!

I didn't really measure much of each of the veggies, so I estimated the measurements.

A few clever additions boost the health factor of this pasta dinner without sacrificing flavor. If you’d rather not make your own pesto, feel free to substitute about ¾-cup of the prepared kind.

A tasty chicken/pesto/tomato/pasta/spinach concoction that my boyfriend refuses to eat because he insists on only eating meals that come from actual recipes. His loss!

Not truly home made...but yummy!!! Calorie info may not be quite that high per serving as you generally have sauce left over in the dish.

Fast-roasted cherry tomatoes and zucchini tossed with cannellini beans, penne pasta and pesto sauce. This dish can be served hot as a main meal, or cold as a pasta salad.

PPP or Tiple P. What ever you want to call it its delish. Have it as a Vegitarian Meal on its own or its the perfect side to my Foil-baked fish with veggies. An easy base to add from . Try shredded chicken even a roaster from the grocery. Add chopped red bell peppers for extra color.

Did you know Italian Food is the most commonly craved food? I believe it, I am always craving pasta! The problem is pasta does not even come close to fitting into a paleo diet! Well problem solved, zucchini can easily be substituted for those carbohydrate filled things called noodles. In this recipe I use a peeler to create fettuccine style 'noodles'.

Great for picnic or potluck.

Light spring or summer food for when heavy meals won’t cut it. Add spinach, kale, or chicken for the leftovers if you have any.

Dave Lieberman's recipe featured on the Dr. Oz show.

This salad is best served the day it is made, if it' been refrigerated, bring it to room temperature before serving. The pesto can be made a day ahead--just cook the garlic cloves in a small sauce pan of boiling water for 1 min. garnish with aditional shaved or grated parmesan.
