Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta

I made this the other day with things that I needed to get rid of so it was a gamble if it was going to be good. It was surprisingly delicious! Dexter said he thought it was pretty good too which is amazing for a pasta meal. Remember this recipe was what I needed to get rid of so the measurements might not be perfect, you could add or take away anything you liked.

You can add some cooked chicken to make it a more hearty meal.

1-2 Tbs. Butter
1-2 Tomatoes diced (You could use sun-dried tomatoes I am sure they would be great!)
8 oz Mushrooms
1 Tbs. Minced Garlic
1/2 of an 8 oz Jar of Sun Dried Tomato Pesto (I used Classico brand, but really as much of this as you want it is the sauce.)
1/2-1 C Milk (Depending on how saucy and liquid you want it.)
1/4 tsp. Salt/Pepper
8 Oz Penne Pasta

Cook pasta according to package.
Meanwhile, heat butter on a skillet until melted, then add mushrooms. Let the mushrooms saute for about 2 minutes then add the diced tomato and garlic. Cook this mixture until the mushrooms are softened to your liking. Add the jar of sun dried tomato pesto, milk, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, stirring until everything is combined. Remove from heat. Combine the cooked pasta and sauce. Enjoy!
