Before you start
Keep the serving dishes in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.
Put a colander in the sink to drain the cooked pasta so that it will be ready when needed.
Method
- Cook the pasta.
- While the pasta is cooking, put the Citrus Pesto in a small bowl, then add the specified amount of pasta cooking water, which will warm up the sauce and will dilute it a bit.
- Put the drained spaghetti back into the pasta cooking pot, add the pesto sauce, then mix well. Serve in the warmed dishes.
