This creamy pesto pasta recipe is a quick and delicious dinner! With just 7 simple ingredients and 15 minutes, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights! Too shrimp basil pesto pasta on weeknights, but still want a delicious dinner that is ready FAST? From walking into the kitchen to walking out of the kitchen with a warm bowl of this creamy pesto pasta, it will take you 15 minutes or less.
I promise you, I timed myself. And that even includes the boiling time for the water! I use fettuccine pasta, but in the past, I’ve used faster cooking pasta like spaghetti, angel hair, or shells which take even less time. If you have some leftover chicken or veggies, throw them in as well. This quick and easy creamy pesto pasta dinner is so yummy and totally kid-approved! In the summer, when my basis is overflowing, I love to use my homemade pesto recipe to make the creamy sauce. However, I have found that store-bought works as well to make a creamy pesto sauce!
