4. Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil. Throw in your choice of pasta and cook for the appropriate length of time. Just before draining, scoop out 1 cup of of the pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander, leave it for a minute.
5. Transfer pasta to a bowl (do not use pasta cooking pot, too hot). - Add pesto and 1/4 cup of pasta water. Toss to coat pasta in pesto, adding more water if required to make pasta silky and saucy, rather than dry and sticky.
