Method
- Cut the potato into small cubes. Trim the green beans.
- Boil the pasta in salted water. After 2 minutes add the potato, then the green beans, so all finish together.
- Scoop out pasta water. Drain.
- Off the heat, loosen the basil pesto with a splash of pasta water and toss with the pasta, potato and green beans.
- Finish with grated parmesan. Taste for salt and serve.
Shopping tip
Jar pesto from Continente or Pingo Doce is the weeknight buy. If you have basil, pine nuts and parmesan, pound a fresh batch instead.
