Description

This tomato pasta with basil pesto is an absolute favorite when things need to be quick! The fresh cherry tomatoes and the aromatic pesto alla Genovese make this pasta a taste experience. I love how the sweetness of the tomatoes harmonizes with the spicy pesto. Perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner. If you like, you can add some chili oil for a spicy note. The dish is vegetarian and can be varied wonderfully, for example with a few olives or capers. The preparation is super easy and guaranteed to succeed!
