Pasta with Basil Pesto

I like this made with fresh made pasta
and a good quality olive oil on top.
I used dried pasta in this recipe.

Ingredients:
1 pound of pasta
3/4 cup basil pesto
water
lemon juice
salt to taste
black pepper to taste

Directions:
Cook 1 pound of pasta in salted water.
When pasta is cooked al dente,
combine 3/4 cup pesto with 2/3 cup
hot pasta water in a large bowl.
Drain pasta and add to the bowl.
Toss to combine. Add lemon juice,
salt, and pepper to taste.
Toss again and serve immediately.
