For a simple, savory dish cook chopped onions in olive oil and ready-made pesto. Toss with hot pasta and grated Parmesan cheese, then serve up hot or cold. Either way it's deliciously easy!

- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 1/2 tablespoons pesto
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
