Recipe by Rosario Indelicato


Serves 4 people

2 jars of Genoese pesto for 500 g of chestnut Trofie pasta
3 potatoes, cut into thin Julienne strips
75 g of French-style green beans, ends cut off and cut in half
Fresh Parmesan cheese to taste

Boil 3 liters of water, adding salt.

Add potato strips and Trofie pasta.  Cook for 10 minutes.

Add green beans.

In a separate pan (I use a wok), heat pesto sauce on very low heat.  Cook pasta/vegetable mixture until all is al dente.  Drain.

Add mixture to warm pesto sauce.  Continue to heat on very low heat, turning gently, for 2 minutes.

Serve immediately.  Season to taste with freshly grated Parmesan and freshly ground pepper.

Wine suggestion: Canus Pinot Grigio or Fontodi Vigna del Sorbo, depending on whether you prefer red or white
