Pumpkin seed pesto pasta

I still had some pumpkin seed pesto left over so tonight I went for a pasta meal. I have enough greens to eat from my indoor garden so into the pasta they went. I also dipped into my last jar of the sun dried tomatoes that I made last fall.
serves 2
20 minutes
  • pasta for 2
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 stalks of celery, sliced thin
  • big handful of mixed greens (kale, spinach, arugula, swiss chard), chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, sliced
  • 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes (packed in olive oil)
  1. Fry onion and sun dried tomatoes in a bit of oil until slightly browned.
  2. Add garlic, celery and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  3. Add mixed greens and cook for a further 1 minute.
  4. Add 1/3 cup of pumpkin seed pesto (see previous post for recipe).
  5. Mix well with what ever pasta you have cooked.
  6. Top with your favorite cheese.
