Pasta and salads such as this sun dried tomato pesto recipe are two meals I don’t often post about because they are the stereotypical vegan meals. There is a whole world of delicious and healthy vegan meals outside of pasta and salads, but sometimes these just hit the spot!
Every so often pasta just really hits the spot, especially when the tomatoes are fresh. You might even be tempted to eat this with a salad.
