Tomato Pesto Fettuccine

Happy Tuesday!  Fettuccine is the strangest words to spell.  It doesn’t look right… but I checked it in the dictionary (yes, an actual dictionary) as well as online.  So, if it is wrong, I apologize.  Today, I am sharing my quick and easy recipe for tomato pesto fettuccine.  You could easily switch out the type of pasta for whatever you have on hand.  You could also use regular pesto instead of tomato pesto.  My family is blissfully unaware as to what pesto is exactly, so I like using tomato pesto because it is more “natural” colored.  (Ignore everything I just said kids… it’s just tomato sauce.  Really.) This delicious tomato pesto fettuccine recipe is perfect for an easy, weeknight meal.  Enjoy!

1. Cook fettuccine per package instructions. Drain.
2. Add pesto, tomatoes and dried basil. Stir to incorporate.

Notes

For a heartier meal, add 2-3 cooked, diced chicken breasts to the fettuccine prior to serving.
