Pesto Pasta Salad

This pesto pasta could not be easier. I cheated a bit and used jarred pesto to cut down on dishes and prep so all you have to do is cook pasta and mix it all together. This is perfect for lunch boxes – take it to school, work, or on a picnic and it will hold up great. A staple for any BBQ, quick lunch, or dinner.

Ingredients:

250g Dried Pasta (I used fusilli)
2 heaped tbsp Pesto
6 Sundried Tomatoes jarred and chopped
2 Large Handfuls of Rocket
Salt and Pepper

Method:

1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil with a large pinch of salt. Pour in the pasta and cook according to the packet instructions. When it is ready drain the pasta in a colander and place in a large bowl.
2. Let the pasta cool and then add in the heaped tablespoons of jarred pesto and the chopped sundried tomatoes. Mix it around so that all the pasta is covered with the pesto.
3. Add in a few large handfuls of rocket and mix. Place in a bowl or lunchbox and enjoy.
