 Here at Remodelaholic we love all things home decor and DIY, but we also love RECIPES. While we will continue to share our latest and greatest remodeling projects we want to start sharing some really yummy recipes once a week. Enjoy the recipes and know that we are still Remodelaholics.

The Perfect easy comfort food recipe for dinner. Creamy Pesto Pasta with only 6 ingredients cia Remodelaholic.com

I’m going to be completely honest with you all, I just created a recipe around my total favorite things and it’s so delicious I knew I had to share it right now. In case you are wondering this is a creamy pesto pasta situation, one creamy pesto pasta delicious situation.

However, the deliciousness factor is not the only thing that’s mind blowing about this recipe (because this is seriously the best meal ever!!!) because it only uses 6 ingredients. 6 I mean you probably need more ingredients to prepare your breakfast cereal right?

And not only that but all of the things are ingredients that you probably already have stocked somewhere in your kitchen, and if not then totally go buy them because they make the best pantry staples. We are using parmesan cheese, pesto sauce, heavy cream (are you already drooling?) and the secret ingredient that makes every meal better: BACON! + some parsley and your choice of pasta, I went with linguini but honestly any pasta works.

As you see all of the ingredients are easy to find ones but combined make an incredible, out of this world good dish that easily wins anything you have at an Italian restaurant.

Cooking this Creamy Pesto Pasta is also very simple so it’s a nice date at home idea if you want, and it’s also great to cook with the help of the little ones that may be interested in helping with the “mixing things on a bowl” part.

I definitely advise going big with the sauce because that sauce is magical. So go with this batch as it is but I highly advise doubling the sauce recipe to have enough for a quick meal at the next day since this creamy situation here goes great served on top of some baked chicken too.
