Creamy Pesto Tomato Spaghetti
Sometimes weekends get busy, so I whipped this up at 9PM. Just 5 ingredients, 20 minutes, and a dinner that feels way fancier than it is. Perfect for a last-minute girl dinner situation. Cheesy, saucy, and so delicious ✨
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 24 oz cherry tomatoes 🍅
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 Boursin cheese, garlic & herb
- 8 oz pesto
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 1/2 box (8 oz) spaghetti
- 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
Instructions
1. Add olive oil to a large pan over medium heat.
2. Add cherry tomatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for a few minutes.
3. Stir, then cover with a lid and let cook another 10 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and bursting. 🍅
4. Mash the tomatoes gently with a wooden spoon to release their juices.
5. Stir in the pesto and parmesan cheese 🧀 Lower the heat.
6. Add cooked spaghetti and a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta evenly, adding more water if needed.
