This 3-ingredient pesto pasta is an easy side or main dish that’s perfect for warm weather. It’s made with pasta, basil pesto, and lemon juice.
Cook the pasta in salted water, keep some pasta water on the side and drain the rest.
Off heat, toss the cooked pasta with pesto and some reserved pasta water to create saucy consistency. Add lemon juice. Taste, add more salt, black pepper, or pasta water.
Serve immediately topped with fresh cheese of your choice.
