If you are looking for a simple but very tasty pasta dish to replace the norm then I would suggest Pasta Pesto. The added nuts give this meal an added texture that is subtle but a hit. Serve as a main dish with a grating of parmesan for a filling flavoursome dish.

This must be the best easiest recipe I have ever seen. I could eat this every single day.
