There are many good recipes for pesto, pick one and make it, or use the jarred pesto, your choice.

the cream is regular dairy heavy cream, comes in a carton

if you are going to make a pasta dish for two people, cook the appropriate amount of pasta and drain and set aside

then warm about a half cup or more of heavy cream in a separate pan/skillet and when boiling, add about 1/3 cup of pesto and stir or whisk well till incorporated., you can vary the ratio to suit your tastes.

Add the pasta to the hot pesto cream and toss well.

You can top with parmesan if you like.

I also like to add sliced grilled chicken on the top.
