Easy Pesto Pasta Side Dish

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and allow to heat for about 5-10 seconds.

Step 2

Add the pesto and use a whisk to mix it into the oil. Keep stirring while the pesto is warming up.

Step 3

Once your pesto and olive oil mixture is warm warmed slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream and use a whisk to blend. I used 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream but you can use more if you want your sauce creamy.

Step 4

Reduce heat to low and continue to stir mixture to blend the cream and the pesto mixture.

Step 5

Add cooked pasta into skillet and stir well to coat all your pasta in the pesto mixture. Remove from heat and serve.
