== Ingredients ==
== Ingredients ==
* 3 eggs yolks
* 30ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
* 15ml lemon juice
* 100g green beans.
* 0.5ml white pepper (yes ml!)
* 200g new potates, e.g. Charlottes.
* 2.5ml tsp salt (yes ml!)
* 60ml single cream.
* 113g butter, melted
* Half a breast of pre-cooked chicken (optional).
* 120ml water.
* 100ml Pesto all Genovese (shop bought).
* 200g stringy pasta, recommend tagliatelle or linguine.
* 2 sprigs fresh basil (optional).


== Directions ==
== 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.
