Steps:
- Make the pesto: Heat a skillet and lightly toast the pine nuts until fragrant. Set aside. Blanch the basil (to prevent oxidizing) by bringing a pot of water to a boil and preparing an ice bath. Place the basil in the boiling water for 15 seconds; then immediately remove with a slotted spoon to an ice bath to stop the cooking. When the basil is cool, remove, squeeze out the water, and set aside. In a blender, add the basil, pine nuts, garlic, oil, a pinch of salt, and ¼ cup Parmesan. Mix until combined but still slightly chunky. Remove to a bowl and stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan.
- Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of water with three pinches of salt to a boil. Add the potatoes, cover, and bring back to a boil, 2-3 minutes. Add the linguine to the boiling water and after several minutes, add the green beans. Continue cooking until the pasta's al dente, about 3 minutes less than what the box advises. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, drain, and return the pasta, potatoes, and green beans to the pot.
- Assemble the dish: Toss the pasta water back into the pasta mixture; then stir in the pesto. Add the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and toss, using the heat from the pasta to create a rich and aromatic sauce. Place in a serving bowl, top with more Parmesan, and serve.

Steps:
- About 1 hour before you make the pesto, wash the basil in cold water; wrap in paper towels and refrigerate (this will help to prevent the sauce from heating up in the machine).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Set up the blender or food processor; add the basil, ½ cup olive oil, garlic, and nuts to the blender or processor; whirl to a thick paste; add more oil if necessary.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and first stir in the cheeses, then taste to determine how much salt to add.
- In another bowl, work the butter with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula as if creaming it for a cake.
- When it is very soft and smooth but not at all melted, fold it into the pesto with the milk; set aside at room temperature while you cook the pasta.
- Generously salt the boiling water and drop in the pasta.
- Cook, stirring often, until al dente.
- Reserve about ½ cup pasta water; drain the pasta without shaking it bone-dry.
- Transfer the pasta to a warmed serving bowl and nap it with the pesto; toss gently, add a little of the pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, to loosen the sauce.
- Pass any remaining pesto at the table along with some extra grated cheese; serve at once.

PASTA, GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES WITH PESTO
The most elegant pasta dish that Italian cooks have ever invented is astonishingly simple to make. Here, the magical green sauce is tossed with trenette (or any long pasta you can twirl around a fork), tender slices of potato and barely blanched green beans.

Steps:
- Make pesto: In the bowl of food processor, add basil, pine nuts, salt and garlic. Pulse until mixture is coarse and grainy. With the motor running, add oil in slow, steady stream. Add cheese; process just enough to mix well. If sauce is too dry, add a little more oil. Taste; add more cheese or salt, if desired.
- Bring 6 quarts water to rolling boil. Add at least 2 tablespoons salt and the potato slices. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until potatoes have started to soften but are not cooked through. Add green beans, and continue boiling another 5 minutes.
- Add pasta, and stir. Start testing pasta at 5 minutes. When it is done, and when potatoes and beans are tender, drain and turn pasta and vegetables immediately into preheated bowl. Add pesto, and mix thoroughly. Serve immediately.

- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Set a colander in a large bowl of ice water (this will make it easier to strain the basil later). Working in batches, blanch basil for 10 seconds. Using a large slotted spoon, transfer basil to colander in ice water; let cool completely. Set aside 1/2 cup blanching water. Reserve pot with blanching water.
- Drain basil by lifting colander from ice water. Using your hands, squeeze excess water from basil; transfer basil to paper towels. (You should have about 1/2 cup.)
- Place blanched basil, 1/2 cup Parmesan, pine nuts, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until well combined, adding blanching water by tablespoonfuls to thin if needed, and stopping occasionally to scrape down sides. Process until a smooth, thick purée forms, about 1 minute.

- To prepare the pasta dough, place the flour in a mound on a flat surface, making a well in the middle. Add eggs and salt into the well. Using a fork, start carefully incorporating the flour from the walls of the well into the egg. When flour and egg are combined, knead dough with your hands until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let rest while you prepare the pesto.
- Finely chop half a peeled garlic clove and place it in a mortar. Wash basil and pat dry, then transfer 2 oz. to the mortar with the garlic, pine nuts, and a little coarse salt. Grind together to a chunky paste. Add 2 oz. Grana Padano cheese mixed with Pecorino Romano and 1/3-1/2 cup oil.
- Roll out the pasta with a rolling pin, then use a wavy-edged roller to cut into rectangles. Pinch pasta rectangles in the center to create bow-shaped farfalle.
