Tomato and Mozzarella Pesto Pasta

June 18, 2015 by Elle 4 Comments

Tomato and Mozzarella Pesto Pasta
I honestly can’t think of a better way to use pesto. This just might be one of my favorite recipes involving pesto ever. This is one of those recipes where there are usually never any leftovers. And if there happens to be a little bit of leftovers, they are pretty much gone as I am trying to put the last bit into Tupperware. I find myself constantly sneaking a bite or two because I just can’t stop eating the stuff!

Funny story about this pasta… I love tomatoes and Max is ok with them, but he really hates the seeds in the middle. So he fishes out every tomato and squeezes out the seeds and then he will proceed to eat the pasta. Cracks me up.

Quick and Tasty Basil Pesto

Pesto

A couple of weekends ago Max and I were hanging out with some friends. It was a fun time! We played volleyball at the park and then went and got ice cream at this super cool place called Subzero. If you haven’t been, you need to go! They mix liquid creams under liquid nitrogen and it freezes right before your eyes.  After that we went and played games at our friends house. I asked my friends what kind of recipes they would like to see on the blog. My friend Metzli replied and said that she would like to see a pesto recipe. I love love love pesto and thought it would be a great thing to do. So that’s where the inspiration came for today’s recipe.  Homemade pesto is super delicious. It’s amazingly fresh and so flavorful. I can’t stand a dull pesto. Max is weird with his pestos, and he liked this one a lot. The basil pesto comes together quickly and is perfect to give some life to your pasta. Stay tuned because there’s lots of ways I’ll be using this yummy pesto 😀

Stuffed Bell Peppers

Stuffed Bell Pepper

BELL pepper. bell PEPPER. I’ve discovered that I say bell pepper in a unique way. Max teases me about how I say bell pepper. I guess I put an emphasis on ‘pepper’, instead of on ‘bell’ like most people do… Whatever it’s normal to me! He redeems himself by saying it’s cute. So I’ve tried a couple of different stuffed bell pepper recipes.  I didn’t really like either of them very much, which is weird because I’m usually a sucker for these guys. They were both vegetarian. Don’t get me wrong, I love my vegetarian and vegan meals, but for this particular dish I prefer the ground turkey.

I decided to whip up my own recipe and it turned out great! We liked them better than those other recipes 😛  I discovered I like to cut the bell pepper in half vertically from the top of the stem down. Not only does it look good, but I feel like you can get more stuffing in your pepper than if you just cut the top off and stuffed it that way. You can really pile the filling on when you cut the bell pepper in half 🙂 I hope you enjoy these stuffed bell peppers as much as I do. Plus they are healthy without sacrificing any of the yummy-ness. It couldn’t get any better then that!
