This recipe originated one night over five years ago when I was trying to use up fresh produce and create something tasty out of leftovers. I had leftover pesto and a can of diced tomatoes. The great thing about this is you can do the same. Use your favorite pasta shape and lots of fresh Parmesan cheese to take this over the top!
If you don’t have basil pesto on hand, pick up an Italian-flavored can of tomatoes.
