300 g small new potatoes
200 g green beans
4 tablespoons pesto sauce

3 tablespoons best olive oil
3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta.
  • Drain, reserving a couple tablespoons of cooking water.

  • Cut the beans in half and boil them in salted water for two minutes.
  • Drain.
  • While the beans, potatoes and pasta are cooking, tip the pesto into a bowl large enough to hold the finished salad.

  • Put the pasta, potatoes and beans into the bowl.
  • Toss and serve.
