Yesterday we had an amazing dinner! We’re still without a full-size fridge, so we’re without meat or a lot of our usual ingredients, thankfully Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto to the rescue! I paired the pesto with farfalle (bowtie pasta), and roasted veggies. It was tasting, filling, and a great way to get veggies into your kiddos.

I wrote down the recipe to share with you. The Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto sauce is so rich and creamy and pairs really well with the veggies I chose.

 

 

 

 

Roasted Veggies and Farfalle with Creamy Pesto

Ingredients:

• 1 6.2 oz jar of Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto
• 1 box of pasta (I used Barilla Farfalle)
• 2 carrots, peeled and cut into pieces
• 1/2 sweet onion, cut into pieces
• 1 cup grape tomatoes
• 1 red bell pepper, deseeded, and cut into slices
• 1 zucchini, cut into coins
• 2 T. olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• parmesan to taste

Directions:

1. Roast Veggies (complete directions can be found here)
2. While veggies are roasting, bring a pot of water to a boil.
3. Cook pasta per box directions.
4. Reserve 3 T. of pasta water when draining cooked pasta.
5. Mix a jar of Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto into the cooked pasta.
6. Add roasted veggies to the pasta/sauce mixture. Stir to combine.
7. Serve with a little extra parmesan cheese, as needed.

This is a great, easy dish that’s perfect for meat-free nights. This Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto is so versitile. In addition to using on pasta, it makes a great veggie dip (I might be guilty of dipping some of the raw veggies into the jar while I was cooking), a sandwich spread (in place of mayo or mustard), or for marinating meat. Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto does not need to be heated prior to eating, and it’s shelf-stable prior to opening. You can find it in the store near the jarred pasta sauces. I found it at Target, but you can also find it on Amazon.
