A quick, tasty and versatile pasta sauce

In the same frying pan, briefly sauté the finely chopped garlic clove and onion, add the pesto, and pour in the cream. Season with salt and pepper and simmer on low heat until the sauce thickens to your liking. Add the meat to the sauce and simmer briefly. While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente.
