Sunday Dinner

Happy Sunday! It’s our favorite day of the week to cook. So every Sunday we share a recipe so you can cook along with us.

Arugula pesto pasta in 25 minutes flat

This lightning quick pasta dish is great for a warm summer night. Homemade pesto, a balsamic vinegar and honey glaze, peak season cherry tomatoes… need I say more?

Ok one more thing… I love to use a healthful store-bought whole wheat pasta with this dish. The flavors and ingredients aren’t delicate enough to mandate that you go procure the fanciest pasta. And I’m always trying to sneak in a serving of whole grains for my kiddos. Happy Sunday!

Ingredients

To make this recipe, please assemble the following
ingredients and prepare each item as noted:

• 1 pound whole wheat pasta (bucatini or your favorite shape)
