Рецепт Rotini with Pesto, Tomatoes and Spinach

My friend's daughter tasted this last year on a vacation and dubbed it the "Best Pasta Ever." I'll go along with her on that! It's a healthy and colorful vegetarian pasta dish that will serve 6 generously, or make heaped platefuls for 4 ravenous diners! I started with the recipe the chef gave her, but it was just a list of ingredients with little information on amounts and exact procedures. Finally after the third go-round and many tweaks, I am pleased with this version. Any ridged or twisted pasta like rotini or fusilli will work here because the ridges hold the pesto well; plain flat or round pasta like spaghetti doesn't work well because the pesto just slides off and pools at the bottom. Use gluten-free or whole wheat pasta if desired.

    Tried this and LOVED it. I can truly, really see why it's nicknamed best pasta ever. To describe in Italian: 'FABULOUS-O' !

    These days I'm not excited much about pasta dishes but the spinich and other ingredients really made this dish something I went back for second helpings for.
