How to Make Pesto Pasta with Potatoes and Green Beans

1. Make Pesto

In a food processor, combine basil leaves, pine nuts, salt, and garlic cloves. Process while gradually adding extra-virgin olive oil until the mixture becomes a paste. Add Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and blend until creamy.

2. Boil Potatoes

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook small, peeled, and thinly sliced potatoes for about 5 minutes until they start to become tender.

3. Add Green Beans

Add fresh green beans to the pot with the potatoes and let them cook for 5 minutes until they are tender but still have a crunch.

4. Cook Pasta

Add trenette pasta to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain the pasta along with the potatoes and green beans.

5. Combine and Serve

In a preheated serving bowl, combine the drained pasta, potatoes, and green beans with the homemade pesto. Toss until everything is well coated and serve hot.
