To Prepare:
Add about 6 cups water to a 2 Liter size pot (if using a smaller pot, cut back the water as needed, so you don’t boil over). As the water comes to a simmer, add in the dried vegetables.

Reserve about 2 tbsp cooking water, drain off rest. Stir in the oil and pesto mix, till combined.

Notes:
Be wary when shopping for instant pesto sauce mix. Not all are equal. Our favorite brand is Simply Organic, which has a simple list of ingredients.
