Pasta with veg & pesto

I received this pasta and pesto in a parcel (see this video) from the bank in Germany when we got married. It was filled with interesting things to eat like chocolate (that's the first thing that came to my mind now! It was the most amazing chocolate truffles...) and olives and a bottle of red wine and lots of other goodies including this packet of colourful pasta:

and this sun dried tomato pesto:

André was a bit skeptical about the pesto. He apparently once ordered pasta with pesto and didn't like it. But I convinced him to give it another try, and this was a different kind of pesto anyway.

I knew he wouldn't be very satisfied with only pesto with his pasta so I added some chopped veg - zucchini, mushrooms, red pepper and garlic - fried in a pan with some olive oil.

Here's the final product: Colourful pasta, served with veg and pesto. And freshly baked (ready bought) bread rolls.

Nice and easy!
