Bring the water to boil, add salt and cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Reserve about a cup of the water when draining.

In a clean bowl, add the cooked pasta, reserved pasta water and the pesto. Mix well adding less or more water depending on how you like it.IMPORTANT: Don't add the pesto to the pasta in a hot pot or stove it may change from a vibrant green to a dark almost black color and lose it's flavor. Rather add the pesto to the pasta when it's off the stove and cooled down or use a separate bowl to mix. You can always add a drop of pasta water if your pasta is not as loose but too much pasta water will also affect the vibrant color of the pesto so a dash at a time of pasta water.

 Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese, fresh black pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and fresh basil.Enjoy!
