Since I am working again today we had a very quick and easy lunch. We made pesto pasta with pesto Genovese sauce. The pasta only took 2 minutes to cook and we just added a bottled pesto and some cheese. Although it was a quick and convenient meal, it tasted like it was specially prepared.

Looks good! But I would want a veggie thrown in too!

Yeah I think I should’ve thrown in some spinach. Although it was already quite herby. I was being lazy. I call it energy saving mode.

You can’t just “throw” anything at that, it’s a work of art!

Looks good but many pastas have a lot of carbs, so wouldn't fit my current diet.

@jnrdutton Well I commend you for that! It is quite hard to stick to a diet. Everytime I try to I feel like I’m deprived.

@flapiz eh I do try to stick to as low as I reasonably can without getting extreme.

I do eat Pasta sometimes but this one looks unique. I am aware of names like Elbow Penne and a few more. Not sure where this one can be clubbed. Yet if its taste was fine, what better than this!

Pesto pasta is such a lifesaver on busy days. Funny how a bottled sauce can still taste so good with a bit of cheese on top. Hope work goes smooth for you today.

I couldn’t agree more! Literally just add sauce and cheese and there is a good meal enough to quench my hunger.

I would have found that very tasty. It was certainly quick to prepare. Sometimes it's hard to decide what you want for lunch.

Since I am working now I have to do quick meals to save time. But I do not like microwaveable meals so pasta it is. I think I have been eating pasta too much these days.
