Step 3: Drain the pasta & toss with the sauce
- cooked & drained pasta
- pesto sauce
Once the pasta is cooked, drain & then add to a large mixing bowl. Starting with about half the pesto, toss it with the pasta until the sauce has with any extra water and is clinging to the noodles.
- For a really saucy texture, use all of the pesto. For lighter coverage, save the other half of the sauce for another portion of pasta.
- At this point, you could save the pesto pasta in the fridge for meal prep, and add toppings for when you are ready to eat.
