Ok, now that you've tried the pesto pizza, you may have some pesto and feta cheese left over. Why not use it up later in the week with some easy pasta? I personally love pasta, not only for the taste, but because you can do so many different things with it.
If you want to add some fiber, get a whole wheat or whole grain pasta. I actually don't really like the texture of most of those kinds of pasta, but I've found the Ronzoni brand has very close to the same consistency as regular pasta. I usually cook pasta in less time than the package directions, which I think is often too mushy. Better to cook pasta al dente, or "to the tooth"- tender but firm.
Pesto Pasta
1/2 c. pasta of your choice, cooked al dente
1/4 c. diced yellow onion, if desired
About 1/4 c. pesto
1-2 large tomatoes, diced or 1 can diced tomatoes, drained
Feta cheese
Saute onion in a small amount of olive oil until soft. Add pesto and tomatoes and heat through. Add to cooked, drained pasta. Serve pasta and top with cheese.
