Ingredients You'll Need

1 (16 ounce) package pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ cup chopped onion

2 ½ tablespoons pesto

salt to taste

ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese


Directions

Gather all ingredients.


Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in pasta and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer into a large bowl.


Meanwhile, heat oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes.


Stir in pesto, salt, and pepper until warmed through.


Add pesto mixture to hot pasta; stir in grated cheese and toss well to coat.
