Ingredients needed for making this pasta?
Pasta- Depending on your choice, you can opt for any pasta. I have used a bow tie; however, you can use any pasta you choose.
Sun-dried tomato— Any store-bought sundried tomato will work perfectly. However, many prefer to make their own with garden tomatoes and fresh olive oil.
Fresh Basil Leaves—The lovely fragrant taste of fresh basil leaves makes the pasta dish all the more delicious.
Garlic Cloves—Using two cloves is the most satisfying part of this pasta for me, as I love garlic.
Cashew Nuts, Almonds, Walnuts, or Pine Nuts—whatever you prefer. They all give pesto a creamier texture.
Serving Suggestion,
I like to serve Pasta with air-fried cheese, garlic Bread, Cold Noodles, or Mexican Chopped Salad. My blog has tons of salad recipes; please check it out.

Can we store it?
We can Store this in the fridge for two to three days at most. Because of the cheese, I do not suggest you store it for a longer time.
Tips for Making Perfect Pasta?
Boil pasta until al dente. Try to make fresh pesto. Use pasta water to make the sauce stick. Use pasta that can absorb lots of sauce. Use cheese according to your taste and choice.
Note—Keep pasta water aside for later use. You can use it to thin pesto and coat the pasta with sauce.
