Homemade Noodles & Company Pesto Cavatappi is the perfect copycat version made right in your own kitchen! Making pesto is probably easier than you think!
I first made this recipe in 2011 but wanted to re-make it and take some new pictures. I’m upset with myself that I took so long to make it again!
Homemade Noodles & Company Pesto Cavatappi
Noodles & Company is one of my favorite fast casual restaurants. I typically order this Pesto Cavatappi or the Med Salad. If you order it there, it comes with mushrooms. I always swap those out for spinach so I did the same thing here.
Julia loved helping with this one. She was great at de-stemming the basil and was thrilled to push the button the food processor.
I made a simple grilled chicken to go along with this and had a quick dinner that all of us loved.
