For an extra layer of flavor, try using a smoked paprika. If you don't have pappardelle, fettuccine or linguine will work well. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor. Adjust the amount of pesto to your liking. Some prefer a more subtle pesto flavor, while others like a bolder taste.

Jun 26, 2024I made this last night, and it was a huge hit! I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra heat. Will definitely be making this again.
