- 1 cup milk
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons pesto sauce
- 2 cups fresh cream

Directions

- Add milk and cream, bring to a gentle simmer and continue to stir until thickened.
- Add pesto, parsley, garlic, parmesan, salt, pepper, worcestershire and tabasco, and stir until blended.
- Reduce heat and keep warm, stirring occasionally.
- Cook pasta quickly in a large pot of boiling water (3 to 4 minutes, or until al dente).

- Drain the pasta, mix it with the sauce and portion it into heated individual serving bowls.

- Note: You can also poach the veggies ahead of time and add them directly to the sauce just before serving as a step saver.
