"Simmer a jar of tomato and basil spaghetti sauce with rich and nutty pesto when you need a quick but luxurious pasta sauce. Serve over hot ziti and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese."

INGREDIENTS:

12 ounces ziti pasta

2 tablespoons pesto

1 (26 ounce) jar tomato basil pasta sauce

salt to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium-low heat, mix together the pesto and basil tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer, and season with salt to taste. Microwave instructions: cook on high for one minute.

Place pasta in a large serving bowl. Toss with pesto-tomato sauce. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
