Ingredients

  • 12 ounces uncooked vermicelli
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 3/4 cup basil pesto

Steps

  • 1
    Cook and drain vermicelli as directed on package. Mix tomatoes and basil in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated; reduce heat to low. Stir in milk. Cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  • 2
    Toss vermicelli and pesto until well coated. Spoon tomato sauce over vermicelli mixture.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Looking for an easy way to dress up this dish? Stir chopped artichoke hearts, sliced ripe olives or roasted red bell peppers into the tomato sauce mixture.
  • tip 2
    The old way of testing pasta is to throw it against the wall - if it sticks, it's done! However, we don't recommend this approach. One simple bite will tell you if it's al dente.
