Pasta & Pesto

Simple, loved and just as easy to make at home as on your trip. Personally, I would recommend spaghetti or capellini – but any shape of pasta works! Just make sure to consider your packing space when picking. If you decide to buy ready-made pesto in a glass jar, you should at least consider transferring it to a lighter weight container.
