Who doesn't love a pasta dish? This chili crisp pesto pasta is a delicious blend of flavors! Feel free to use your own pesto and chili crisp oil, however I find my walnut pesto and chili crisp oil recipes blend beautifully together in this pasta dish. Hope you make this recipe, and enjoy it just as much as we do!
