I like to use a pasta with lots of surface area to really collect all the red pesto sauce. I love a penne, casarecce, rotini, or elbow shape; but almost any shape will do! You can also change up your dish with the type of pasta you choose! Some of my favorites are: - Lentil (my favorites are the Red Lentil Penne from Trader Joes and the Tolerant Brand as this is the most like regular pasta I have found) - Chickpea (I really like the Barilla pasta, and used the Casarecce shape in this recipe, but rotini would be great too) - Brown rice (my favorite is the brown rice penne from Trader Joe’s or the Jovial brand) - Sweet potato or butternut squash (great for Whole30 option) - Rutabega noodles (great for Whole30 option)
