This turned out great. The pesto is absolutely perfect and it sticks to the pasta much better than traditional pesto. The bow ties are a great match but I'm sure any pasta would work too. Spirals I think would really hold the pesto. It was fairly quick and easy to make, and only used one pot plus the food processor.
