‘Remember to pulse, not to blend, as you still want some texture,’ Ayeh said in a previous video.
The pasta was cooked in a pot of boiling water then strained, reserving some of the pasta water, and combined with the freshly made pesto sauce.
The small amount of pasta water was stirred with the sauce to thin the consistency slightly.
