30g Parmigiano Reggiano

Please note that some essential ingredients may
be listed in the recipe but not included when purchasing.

Instructions

Peel and dice your yellow-fleshed potatoes. Cut your green beans into three-quarter lengths.

Bring 2 litres of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and green beans, and cook for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, add the Trofie to the same pot and cook for 4 minutes to achieve a perfect al dente texture.

While your Trofie are cooking, gently warm the pesto in a separate frying pan and add a couple of tablespoons of starchy pasta water to help liquidise it for a better coating.

Drain the Trofie, potatoes and green beans and transfer them to the pan with the pesto. Cook for one extra minute on low-medium heat.

Plate and serve with fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano.

Buon Appetito!
