Eating And Storage Tips

I used tagliatelle for making this but it will work with a lot of different types of pasta including spaghetti or penne if you want to keep it cheap and cheerful.

If you aren’t a big fan of tomatoes then go for something like red pepper instead. Got mushrooms that need using? Add them sliced up into the pan alongside the onions.

You could add extra pesto in here to make it really intense in colour and flavour but consider the amount of calories in a lot of pesto! If you want to reduce the amount of pesto because of that exact reason then do so and add a small amount (1tbsp) of 0% fat Greek yoghurt instead. This will change the dish a little in terms of the flavour punch of the pesto but it will stay noticeable and give you some added creaminess as well.
