Green Pesto Pasta Casserole with chickpea noodles, homemade pesto sauce, and green veggies baked to perfection. The best workweek dinner!
As a kid, my favorite colors were pink and purple.
If I ever had a choice between colors of backpacks and pens and school notebooks, pink or purple was my favorite shade.
As a teenager, I begin to. gravitate towards blue because it felt safe, cool, and inconspicuous.
As a twenties something, I loved teal and coral.
The pairing together made my heart happy and I made it the theme of my outfits and my wedding colors.
Now that I’m in my 30’s, I am in love with the color green.
From the sage of my yoga mat to the mint of my planner to the evergreen of my favorite cozy sweatshirt.
Sometimes when my cell phone case and Kindle cover color and blouse are all matching it feels like a problem, but, hey, I like what I like!
Which is why I *love* the dozens of plants scattered around the perimeter of our main level.
The color green transforms the space from empty and generic and stale to something alive: a living room.
I always look for green on my plates, too.
(Sometimes, I even heat up some steamed broccoli to serve with a monotone takeout meal for a little color…
Which I do realize defeats the purpose and gift of takeout, haha.)
Which is why I loved the idea of this Green Pesto Pasta Casserole from first glance.
It’s made in a casserole dish with chickpea noodles, homemade pesto sauce, and green veggies baked to perfection.
This is the best workweek dinner for colder weather no matter what your favorite color is!
