My in-laws came over for dinner on Sunday to help evaluate an uneven spot on our deck. I wanted to use up the rest of my garlic scape pesto before freezing the remainder for later. Ron and I love pasta salads with a pesto dressing and I thought it would be a delicious way to feed the crowd. I kept the recipe pretty simple and used a basic mayo based, but opted for greek yogurt over sour cream. I think you could easily use a basil based pesto in this recipe and have lovely results.
Our family loved this recipe and it was a perfect side for our cook out. Kellen has started to get into liking noodles and thought it was delicious as well. However, the brats always steal the show for him- he is a Wisconsin boy!
Tonight we have volleyball and I am excited because we have been on a winning steak. However, I probably just jinxed us....oops. I am certainly looking forward to having a beer or two.....who am I kidding or three....
