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 to a boil a medium-size saucepan full of water. Meanwhile, rinse the basil leaves. Fill a bowl with ice water and place it next to the saucepan, with a skimmer or strainer close by. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the basil leaves. Blanch the leaves quickly to bring out the color, then remove immediately with the skimmer and transfer to the ice water. Drain and squeeze out any excess water.
- In a food processor, pulse the pine nuts until finely ground. Add the blanched basil and ¼ to ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste, and process until finely chopped. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil and continue to process until the mixture is reduced to a fine puree, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl.
- Puree the garlic in a mortar and pestle, or put through a garlic press, and stir into the pesto. Stir in the cheese. You should have about 2/3 cup pesto, which will keep, covered and refrigerated, up to 1 week.
- Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover partially and boil gently until tender, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness. Drain, return to the pot, cover and set aside for 5 minutes to steam the potatoes. Cut into ¾ inch-thick pieces and set aside.
