This parmesan pesto pasta will truly make you want to turn your kitchen into a quick trip to Italy just like that!
Let me show you Diamonds how I made this pasta dish:
Ingredients you’ll need:
- A container of grape tomatoes, sliced in half.
- Half of a jar of your favorite pesto. You can make it homemade if you’d like as well.
- The juice of half a lemon.
- 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese.
- A pad of butter.
- Four strips of bacon.
- Pasta of your choice because what would a pasta dish be without it?!
- First step is to cook your bacon until crispy, then set aside to cool and cut!
- While your bacon is sizzling, get a pot of water boiling to cook your pasta to al dente! About 8-9 minutes.
In a large sauté pan over medium-hight heat get those grape tomatoes charred in two tablespoons of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter, so that they get a chance to get some gorgeous color on them. As the temperature of the tomatoes increase that will allow their juices to release, beginning to create a sauce.
You want the tomatoes to cook for a good five minutes until they look beautiful and blistered like this before adding in the other ingredients!
When the tomatoes have gotten to the perfect texture, add in your pesto, parmesan cheese, crispy bacon, and also a splash of sherry wine to give the sauce intense, robust flavor!
Get your biggest pasta bowl ready!
Diamonds! Just take a look at how impeccably gorgeous this pesto pasta looks when the sauce and noodles combine!
