 == Directions ==
-# Put yolks, lemon juice and seasoning in blender.
+# Thinly slice potatoes and fry in olive oil until becoming golden
-# Melt butter in microwave - that much butter should do in 60seconds on medium.
+# If using dried pasta, put the pasta on to cook.
-# Blend the egg mixture on high for 10 seconds or so then add the butter slowly.
+# Add cream and pesto
+# Add beans to cook for 5 minutes
-The heat from the butter will cook the eggs and create a smooth, glossy mixture ideal for fish or asparagus.  If raw eggs are a concern, add 15ml boiling water to ensure egg yolks are cooked.
+# If using precook chicken, add now.
+# Add 120ml from pasta pot
-(If keen to save washing up, use a hand blender.)
+# Drain pasta and serve
-Serve as soon as it is ready.
