Elbow pasta With Pesto

Pesto Pasta With Roasted Veggies

On the days I  fix quick dinners I always throw in some vegetables in my oven to roast. By the time I finish my dish I  have some really delicious roasted vegetables with minimal supervision and cooking, on the side. Well, today was one of those days. I made a quick pasta dinner with  roasted  Peppers , Zucchini  on the side. I try to make fresh pesto time permitting, but this time, I just used the store bought one. I prefer the sweet smell and the amazing taste of  home made pesto to the store bought one any day. Here's  the recipe to pesto pasta. I used  Barilla whole wheat elbow pasta,they cooked really fast and held the pesto sauce  better than Penne .
