Sundried Tomato and Pesto Rotini

Tomorrow is the big day.

The big day that I’ve been dreading.

After work tomorrow, I’m heading home to attempt the real deal. A three tiered wedding cake. The exact wedding cake I will be making come the middle of September.

Instead of doing a bunch of baby practice cakes, I decided I just needed to give the real deal a chance.

And chances are good there will be more than one kink I will have to work out.

But no matter how ugly that thing looks, I know it will taste good.

If you are in the area and hungry for sweets on Sunday, stop by.

In the mean time, here is a recipe I KNOW will work out.

You will need…

1 package penne or rotini pasta


½ cup fresh pesto


1 cup goat cheese crumbles


½ cup sundried tomatoes


3 cups arugula
1 lemon, juiced


Salt and pepper to taste

Start by boiling a large pot of salted water.

While the water is boiling, chop your sundried tomatoes into small bite sized pieces.


When the water has boiled, add in the pasta and cook to the package instructions.


Before you drain the water, make sure to take out 2 cups of the starchy pasta water and set it aside.


Drain the pasta and add it back to the pot.


Add in the pesto, goat cheese, arugula and 1 cup of the pasta water. Add in more water if it isn't becoming sauce like.


Stir everything well so that it makes a light sauce.


Toss in the sundried tomato and the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.


Combine completely and serve hot.
