Ingredients:
- About 1/2 box of tri-colored rotini (I think it's "garden delight" brand or something that actually uses vegetables and not just food coloring...those who know me well should be commending me about now)
- 3-4 T butter/margarine (I used margarine)
- 4-5 T pesto (Wegmans has the best, I maintain)
- A few splashes of light cream
- A few spashes of skim milk
- About 1/3 C or so of grated parmesan
- Pinches of sea salt, white pepper and ground black pepper
- 3 T or so of onion and chive cream cheese (if it's not Philadelphia brand, I don't know what to tell ya...good luck)
- About 1/4 a small yellow onion, chopped
- A few splashes of olive oil
Directions:
- Make the pasta, then toss with olive oil and set to the side
- In a separate pan, add the butter and melt, then add the onion for a few minutes stirring
- Add the pesto, cream, milk, cream cheese, and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 5 minutes or so
- Add in the parmesan
- Add in the salt/pepper to taste
- Stir it all up and keep simmering until the desired consistency is reached
- Add however much sauce to however much pasta you want...and you're golden

I actually think this was one of the best sauces I've made. Were I less lazy I would have chopped up the zucchini, yellow squash, and carrots I got, too. Next time.
