7 Ingredient Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta
Description
Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta! This 7 ingredient dinner is ready in just 20 minutes, perfect for busy nights! Vegetarian, easily vegan.
Scale
Ingredients
- 12 ounces short-pasta (I love fusilli to catch the pesto in all the crannies)
- 1/2 cup (4 oz.) sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil- see note)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until just al dente according to package directions. Drain, do not rinse and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, place the tomatoes, garlic cloves, basil and parmesan in a food processor and pulse until combined.
- With the blade running, drizzle in the lemon juice and olive oil until a paste forms.
- Remove the pesto and toss with hot pesto.
- Serve as is or at room temperature.
Notes
If using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, then use the entire 8 ounce jar of tomatoes and oil together. Do not add any additional oil.
