Add big pinch of salt. Once it starts boiling add pasta. Stir once and Let pasta cook till al dente (cooking time should be mentioned on the pasta box.).
While pasta is cooking, on another stove heat the oil in a pan on medium heat.
Once hot add green chili and saute for few seconds.
Then mix in chopped onions with some salt. Be careful, pasta and pesto both have already salt in it. Let onions get translucent.
