3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
4. Stir in cream and season with pepper.
5. Cook 6-8 minutes, stirring constantly.
6. Stir in Parmesan cheese into cream sauce (if you grate the cheese yourself, a half cup is plenty, if you use pre-grated cheese you may want to use a cup.
7. It can be added later).
8. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
9. Blend in pesto and cook 3-5 minutes, until thickened.
10. If it needs thickening add the cornstarch and some more cheese.
11. The sauce will thicken some when added to pasta so aim for a thickened liquid (like agave syrup).
