with Parmesan Cheese & Radish Salad
Baked pasta is a must on the menu, so here you have it! Fusilli pasta is perfect for soaking up all that pesto and creamy sauce, you wouldn’t want a single drop to be forgotten. A fresh radish salad on the side is sprinkled with almonds for a note of nutty crunch. Of course, it’s not a pasta without a load of cheese peppered on top. *Unfortunately, this week's fusilli was in short supply, so we've replaced it with penne. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!*
