Do I need to cook sun-dried tomato pesto?

No, sun-dried tomato pesto does not need to be cooked - you can eat it just as is. But for this pasta recipe, we like to warm it over the stove and combine it with pasta water and lemon juice to create a silky, creamy sauce.

What goes well with sun-dried tomato pesto pasta?

We like to serve this pasta with a side of mixed greens dressed in flavored olive oil and balsamic (like Tuscan herb olive oil and Meyer lemon white balsamic) or freshly baked bread and dipping oils. Our sun-dried tomato pesto pasta also pairs wonderfully with a glass of wine!

How do I store and reheat leftover sun dried tomato pesto pasta?

Store leftover pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Make sure to store leftovers without any fresh basil mixed in, as it will oxidize quickly and go bad. Reheat single servings in the microwave for about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
