    Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and return it to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring now and then, until tender yet slightly firm to the bite, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and move it to a large bowl.

    Meanwhile, warm the oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion; cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the pesto, salt, and pepper until heated through.

  5. 5

    Add the pesto mixture to the hot pasta; stir in the grated cheese and toss well to coat.
