Pesto Pasta Salad Bento (recipe included)
Okay, so I cheated on the pasta :P
Bought a container of pesto from Trader Joe's for $2.69 and a packet of whole wheat pasta with flax seeds added for 99cents. I was extremely surprised at the high protein and fiber content of the pasta, as well as the lack of whole- wheat flavour-- definitely a winner :) As for the pesto, I figured it was much costlier (for me) to buy some fresh basil and pine nuts...it's not like I used the whole jar all at once, so I'll call it an investment :) For pesto pasta salads (doesn't that sound soo weird!?)
The pasta looked worse than the picture...I guess it was the camera's flash that made it look much brighter?
As for the top tier, the notes are self- explanatory ^_^
