Step 1

Heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add pesto and mix into the oil. Be sure to stir often as the pesto warms.

Step 3

When the pesto is warmed and just a little bubbly, slowly stream in the heavy cream as you stir. (You can always add more cream it you'd like.)

Step 4

Add some pasta water to thin out the sauce, if needed.

Step 5

Turn down the heat and continue to stir to incorporate the cream and pesto. Salt and pepper to taste.
