Which is the right way to check if find() returns any record? cakephp 3.0

hello,

i'm looking for the right way in cakephp 3.0 to check is a find() query returns any record.

By now i'm executing the query with a $result = find()->toArray and checking if $result is empty or not, but the problem is that i can not sent $result to $this->paginate() as paginate needs an object.

There is a way to check if find() returns any row before to iterate over it?

thanks
