Geeky Cooking - Italian Flag Pasta!

My children LOVE pasta. This should not come as a surprise seen as they are in part (BIG part)  Italian. Although we do speak Italian at home, we still want to keep some of the Italian culture alive in our home. Even in small ways such as making pasta. This particular pasta is made in three different ways to make it resemble the Italian flag. It is one of my mini-geeks' favorite plates. So here you go:

Italian Flag Pasta (makes four servings)

What you'll need:
 - 1 pack, about 500g, of pasta (any kind, my kids love Rigatoni)
 - 1 can (15oz) tomato sauce (organic)
 - Olive oil (to taste) + 3 tblsp
 - 3 tblsp pesto (we love Giada's)
 - Parmigiano Reggiano to taste (grated)

What to do:
Cook pasta according to instructions on package. Drain pasta and divide in three portions in three bowls. Add tomato sauce in one, olive oil in the other and pesto plus two tblsp olive oil in third. Mix, separately, and serve on plates as shown in picture (pesto pasta left, olive oil in center, and tomato sauce right). Sprinkle grated parmigiano on top. Fun and ready to serve:
