COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ingredients:
- 1 box pasta (will not need full box)
- 1 jar prepared pesto
- 1 jar sundried tomatoes in oil (will not need full jar)
- 1 15 oz. can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (may not need entire can)
- 1 14 oz. can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
- Pine nuts (optional)
- Grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
- Cook pasta (1/2 box-3/4 box, depending on pasta-to-sauce ratio) according to directions. Reserve some pasta water for the sauce.
- Spoon pesto into saute pan. Allow simmering for a couple of minutes. Add in sun-dried tomatoes to taste. (Will not need to add oil to the pan because of oil in both pesto and sun-dried tomatoes.)
- Add in artichoke hearts. Simmer for a bit. Add in beans, to taste.
- Add cooked pasta to the mixture. Add pasta water, if needed.
- Garnish with pine nuts and parmesan cheese to taste.
Enjoy!
(P.S. This also works as a chilled pasta salad!)
