Elevate potatoes and beans with a divine Ligurian pesto from Chef Tobie Puttock.
Ingredients:
  • 4 (about 270g) baby Cream Delight potatoes, scrubbed, quartered
  • 350g Golden Pasta Mixed Linguine
  • 150g green round beans, halved diagonally
  • 40g (1/2 cup) finely grated parmesan (or vegetarian hard cheese)
  • 75g fresh basil, leaves picked
  • 40.00 ml pine nuts
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 125ml-160ml (1/2 cup-2/3 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1-10.50 gm lemon juice
Instructions:
  • Create a fragrant basil pesto by combining fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, and a pinch of salt in a mortar. Use the pestle to pound the ingredients into a smooth paste. Gradually incorporate oil while stirring continuously until the mixture is thoroughly blended. Finish by adding lemon juice, adjusting seasoning to taste.
  • Boil the potato in a large saucepan of salted water for 10 minutes until tender. Transfer to a large bowl using a slotted spoon.
  • Simultaneously, cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water until al dente. Add the beans during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain the pasta.
  • Combine the pasta mixture and parmesan with the potato, toss well, and divide among plates. Drizzle with fresh basil pesto and season to taste.
