How to Cook Pasta and Pesto
- Place the pasta in a pan of lightly salted boiling water and cook according to the instructions (usually about 8 minutes). Drain in a colander and, while the pasta is draining empty the pesto into the pan and allow it to warm. Replace the pasta in the pan and stir into the sauce making sure it is completely coated. Serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

Use 2oz(50g) of grated Cheddar cheese in place of the Parmesan cheese and melt under a hot preheated grill for about 4 minutes. More calories, but more fun!
