A simple, light & summery pasta salad with peas and sun dried tomatoes.

Pesto Pasta with Peas & Sun Dried Tomatoes | Persnickety Plates

Our power is back! It came back on late Monday night. Thankfully. However, we had to toss nearly everything in our fridge and freezer. I would guess somewhere around $200-300 worth of stuff, so that sucks. Basically I have some Grey Goose and kalamata olives left. And ketchup. A visit to the grocery store is in our near future.

 Luckily I made this last week so I have something other than olives & vodka to share with you. I love variations of this pasta dish. I’ve made Baked Rigatoni with Sun Dried Tomatoes & Peas and Mini Ziti with Sun Dried Tomatoes & Artichoke Hearts, among others. This one used up some of the pesto I had left over from the Zucchini & Squash Galette I made last week. It’s simple and light and a perfect summer dish.

Oh & giveaways. There’s still two going on: Kleenex Hand Towels and/or $500 Gift Card to Amazon. And another one coming up soon. Go enter!

    Sorry about all your food! I hate it when the power goes out (we live way out in the country, so it happens often) because I’m always worried that I will loose my food. 🙁
    On a positive note, this looks super! Love the sun dried tomatoes.
