Lemon Pesto Pasta

Here is a quick easy pasta to make for a light lunch or dinner. Please realize I normally only cook this for myself so I'm trying to think how much it would be for more than one person.

1 lbs Pasta of your choice (angel hair or linguini is best)
2 tbls Pesto
1/4 C lemon juice
1/4 C butter OR 1 tbls olive oil (I use either/or depending on my mood)
1/2 C Parmesan cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste

1.) Cook pasta to just before al dente. Drain pasta.
2.) Add butter/oil. If using butter, stir until melted. Add lemon juice, pesto and cheese until pasta is well coated.The pasta will soak in the lemon while it finishes cooking.
3.) Salt and Pepper to taste

Variation: Add Lemon pesto chicken chunks for a heartier meal.
