We are using the Heart Reduced-Carb Wheat Fusilli Pasta in this recipe. This is such a simple and quick dish that you can make any time of the day, especially on a week night when you don't have too much time to cook. Its satisfying and totally keto-friendly. The pesto can be pre-made and stored in the refrigerator. If you are like me, loving everything fresh, then prepare it on the same day.
