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.

Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Transfer pasta to bowl with potatoes and green beans.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Combine the basil, garlic, salt and cheese in a blender or food processor; pulse until roughly chopped. Add the olive oil in a steady stream, and continue to blend until the mixture is fairly creamy, adding a little more olive oil or some water if necessary. Add the pine nuts, and pulse a few times to chop them into the sauce.
- Add the potatoes to the boiling water, and stir; then add the pasta, and cook as usual, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes in all. When the pasta is about half done - the strands will bend but are not yet tender - add the string beans.
- When the pasta is done, the potatoes and beans should be tender. Drain the pasta and vegetables, toss with pesto and more salt or olive oil if you like, and serve.

- Put 1/2 cup of olive oil, pine nuts, garlic and a nice pinch of salt in a food processor or blender, start mixing and add the basil a few leaves at a time processing to a creamy consistency.
- Stir in the cheese by hand, mixing well. I find this achieves a much better consistency than if you blend the cheese in using the food processor or blender.
- Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the pesto, turn heat on low and heat through.
