Pesto Tomato Ziti
Ingredients
  • 12 ounces ziti pasta
  • 2 tablespoons pesto
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar tomato basil pasta sauce
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Boil a substantial container of salted water until it reaches a rolling boil.

Add ziti pasta to the boiling water and cook until it reaches your desired level of firmness, approximately 8 minutes.

Remove the pasta from the water using a strainer or colander.
4
In a separate saucepan over a low to medium heat setting, combine the pesto and basil tomato sauce.
5
Bring the mixture to a gentle bubbling motion, then add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

Alternatively, you can heat the sauce in a microwave-safe container with a lid: cook on high for one minute.

Transfer the cooked pasta to a large serving dish.
8
Mix the pasta with the pesto-tomato sauce using a spoon or fork.
