Crunchy Spinach and Artichoke Pesto Pasta


As usual, I made waaay too much pasta for the previous pasta salad. 

There was 2c leftover, which I almost pitched, then decided I'd add play around with ingredients and ended up with yet another pasta salad. This could also be a quick Mac & Cheese or added to soup or chili.

2c al denté cooked pasta - cooled
1c shredded Mexican blend cheese
1/2 small jar, 3-4oz., of basil pesto
1/4 red bell pepper
1/4 med sweet onion
garlic salt and black pepper

This happened in no time and was a nice surprise! Good for the meatless people in your life. For additional crunch and protein, add some roasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds — AND — it would also be good served warm, or hot. . .Lin
