Preparation

In a big pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta al dente, following the instructions on the box. Set aside a little of the cooking water, then drain.
Off the heat, put the pasta back in the pot. Add the pesto, a good drizzle of olive oil and a little cooking water. Season with salt and pepper and stir well! Serve right away.
