# Put yolks, lemon juice and seasoning in blender.

# 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.
