Simple Red Bell Pepper and Pesto “Cream” Sauce

When I feel like being a little bit healthier this is my go-to pasta dish! The sauce is full of protein and healthy fats! This is what I like to call a balanced meal! I replace the cream for greek yogurt and it turns out just as delicious! You would never know the difference! If your child doesn’t eat protein this is such a good way to “sneak” it in! I make this all the time and the best part is you don’t have to cook the sauce! The hot pasta heats up the sauce and it’s done in the amount of time it takes to cook the pasta!! I hope you will give this one a try!
