Number Of Ingredients 8

300 g farfalle pasta
300 g small new potatoes
200 g green beans
4 tablespoons pesto sauce
1 clove garlic, grated very finely
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.
  • Keep the pasta warm.
  • Coordinate the cooking so the potatoes are ready at the same time.
  • They will probably need to boil in a separate pan of water for 15 minutes.
  • Drain.
  • 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.
  • Mix the garlic into the pesto, along with the olive oil and the two tablespoons cooking water.
  • Put the pasta, potatoes and beans into the bowl.
  • Toss and serve.
