This is one of my purely accidental creations that I somehow threw together when I was at school and thought there was no food in the house. Surprisingly, it turned out really good, and I proved to myself once again that college food doesn't have to be awful. It's only 6 ingredients, but it seems like fancy food. Maybe I just think of pesto as a really fancy sauce compared to many others, and someday I want to make my own from scratch. But today, we'll keep it simple and use the kind from a jar. I used medium shell pasta, but bow ties or macaroni would work too. Also, I used some mini babybel white cheddar cheese because that's all I had, but that's probably not the most economical option. You may want to buy a block of cheese and shred it yourself.
INGREDIENTS:
4 servings of medium shell pasta
12oz jar of pesto sauce (But you can use as much or as little as you like.)
8oz of shredded white cheddar cheese
1/2 red onion
1 clove garlic
bread crumbs to top your pan
DIRECTIONS:
1. Start boiling your pasta. Preheat the oven to 375 and spray a glass 8x8 baking dish.
2. Chop the onion and garlic. In a small frying pan, cook them for just a few minutes in a little bit of butter or oil.
3. Drain your pasta, put it back in the pot, and add as much pesto as you like.
4. Now add your garlic, onion, and cheese. Heat on low until it melts.
5. Transfer the pasta to your baking dish and top it with bread crumbs.
6. Bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
I haven't decided yet what I want to post tomorrow, so come back for a surprise!
