This pasta salad has the addition of kale and leek pesto, which makes it burst with flavor. It’s so fresh and green! Who doesn’t love a good pesto? It’s one of my absolute favorites, and this recipe will move right into the top of my go-to list.
You can make this in under 20 minutes, and it’s amazing hot or cold. What’s not to like?
