Roasted red bell peppers would also be delicious with this pasta recipe. Add fresh thyme or Italian parsley if you don’t have fresh basil. – Just one pot– You will only be dirtying up one pot to cook the pasta in. And you only need a serving bowl to mix all the ingredients together. Easy clean up!
Can I make this with gluten-free pasta? Yes, you can! Use whatever is your favorite short gluten-free pasta brand. Can I double this recipe for meal prep? Yes, if you would like to have leftovers to enjoy during the week, just double the recipe. Can I serve this pasta cold? Yes, you could enjoy this pasta cold. You could make it ahead of time, store in the fridge, and eat it the next day. But I typically make it and serve it as soon as pasta is cooked, so it’s still a bit warm.
