Another winner from the 125 Meatless Pasta Dishes book - “Light Tomato Cream with Pesto”. The name is a little misleading - I thought I was making tomato cream sauce, then topping it with some pesto, but it’s the other way around. Also, I was pleasantly surprised that this dish only took 20-25 minutes to put together. I thought making the pesto would take longer. 
It’s not as sinful as it sounds/looks (don’t tell Ben); that’s plain yogurt and a splash of half & half mixed with the pesto. Not pictured: grated grana padano on top.
