Who doesn't love a big bowl of pasta? There isn't much else that I find as comforting. We make so many different meals with pasta and one that I've been coming back to recently is this creamy pesto pasta recipe. It contains 6 ingredients and could be made in around 15 minutes if adding no optional extras so it's a perfect choice for midweek.
1/2 an onion, finely diced
1 pepper, diced
300ml chicken stock
160g pasta
4 tsps of red pesto
3 tbsp of Philadelphia (any brand will do)
Method:
1. Weigh out your pasta (If I didn't, I'd make enough to feed 10,000) and add to saucepan with boiling water
2. While your pasta is cooking, use a separate pan to gently fry your diced onion and pepper
3. When the onions and peppers are soft, pour in 300ml of chicken stock and leave to simmer for 5 minutes
4. Next, add in 4 teaspoons of red pesto to the stock along with 3 tbsp of Philadelphia. Stir well until everything has combined
5. When your pasta is done, drain well and tip into the pesto mix. Give it a good mix and then serve!
6. We actually added in pork chipolatas too but you could easily throw in extra veggies or maybe chicken or bacon.

Will be giving it a try with chicken & bacon as a midweek dinner for sure x
Pesto is such a handy ingredient to have it. It's great with potatoes too with a salad in Summer! x

Me too, it's a great one for this heatwave as it takes such little time xx
It would be great with chicken, it's such a great meal to change up every so often xx
I feel you on the needing to weigh out pasta! I hate food waste and I can't eyeball for the life of me.
