This dish is a great way to use up leftover pesto. I always have a jar of pesto in my fridge and this is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I've made it with different types of pesto, added grilled chicken or shrimp, and even used sun-dried tomatoes instead of fresh basil. It's always delicious!
