This recipe assumes you have fresh or leftover plain pasta, but if you just happen to magically have leftover pesto pasta in the fridge, throw that in (no extra pesto required). In fact, almost any sauced pasta will work will here: marinara! puttanesca! carbonara! The only sauces not invited are cream-based ones—sorry, Alfredo.
