I asked the kids what they wanted for dinner on Halloween and this Monster Pasta was their request! This Monster Pasta is really Broccoli Spinach Pesto topped with mozzarella & olive eyeballs.The kids love the pesto and think it’s so fun with the “eyeballs”! I love that it’s loaded with green veggies and takes about 15 minutes to make.
The pesto is also great for meal prep! We often make a double batch and freeze small containers so we have a healthy dinner ready-to-go!
