How to Make 15 Minute Florentine Pasta Salad
- Cook linguine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water before draining.
- Rinse the cooked linguine under cold water until completely cooled. Drain thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pesto sauce and lemon juice.
- Add the cooled linguine to the pesto mixture and toss to coat.
- Gently fold in the chopped spinach, halved tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
- If the salad seems dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Spoon the pasta salad onto individual plates or a large serving platter.
- Sprinkle generously with toasted pine nuts and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
