Description

This pasta dish is a real treat, perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner. I love the combination of creamy fresh cheese sauce, juicy cherry tomatoes and fragrant pesto. Mushrooms add an extra touch of flavor. It's a dish I make often, because it's simple to make and always appreciated. You can easily vary the vegetables depending on the season. A little fresh basil, chopped just before serving, and it's a delight! Ready in less than 30 minutes, it's ideal for weeknights.
