Very easy and kid-friendly!
I made this last night. I didn't have enough mozzarella cheese (added some shredded cheddar that I had in my fridge) and I didn't top with the Italian seasoning. My 5 yr. old ate it and my DH and I liked it. I appreciated that I could sub. in our favorite noodles (we used rigatoni) and that I made it in a snap. Added BEER BREAD, asparagus, and we were happy. Hope you enjoy it!

Perfect for company!
I doubled the recipe and made it the day before. Great for when you have company coming. I got to enjoy friends and family rather than cooking. And we all had an AMAZING meal!

So easy and delicious!
This was a last minute dinner idea and it turned out perfect! I have always liked the Dried Tomato and Garlic Pesto, but it was a bit surprising to see my kids eating their portions quickly too.I actually ended up adding a little bit more pesto than what the original recipe calls for (because I like it so much). Both the kids and my husband had more than 1 helping!
