# 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.
