Tips:

1. Use fresh pesto: Fresh pesto is bursting with flavor, so it's the best choice for this recipe. You can find it in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores. 2. Cook the ground beef until it's browned all the way through: This will help to ensure that the hamburger mac is safe to eat and that the beef has a good flavor. 3. Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta that is overcooked will be mushy and unpleasant to eat. Cook it according to the package directions, and be sure to drain it well before adding it to the sauce. 4. Add the cheese at the end: Adding the cheese at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from becoming rubbery. 5. Serve immediately: Pesto hamburger mac is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the cheese is melted.

Conclusion:

Pesto hamburger mac is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a great way to use up leftover pesto.
