Roasted Pesto Bake

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: dried pasta, olive oil, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the celery in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the pesto and let it roasted, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the olive oil and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with a grating of hard cheese right before serving.
6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
