Ingredients
- 16 oz. pasta I used whole wheat rotini
- 3/4 cup prepared pesto I used lemon arugula pesto
- 4 oz. soft goat cheese (chevre) crumbled
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved or quartered
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to directions in salted water.
- Drain pasta (see notes)
- Mix pasta with pesto, goat cheese, and tomatoes.
- Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold.
Notes
- When you mix the goat cheese with the warm pasta, it will melt into the pesto creating a creamy texture. If you want the cheese to stay intact (or if you want cool pasta salad immediately), rinse the pasta with cold water until cooled completely before mixing with other ingredients.
