JUST-RIGHT PESTO PASTA SALAD
I LOVE pesto pasta, but it seems whenever I get it from the deli, it's either too salty or too oily or both. Also, homemade pesto pasta salads tend to rely on jarred pesto sauce, all of which I find are also too oily and/or salty. Well, you know what they say about what to do if you want something done right, and this recipe is the result. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
