Pasta al Pesto con Trofie

🌍 Italian, Liguria Difficulty: ●●●○○

Liguria's hand-rolled trofie are small twisted shapes that trap the pesto in their grooves. Potatoes and green beans cook in the same water as the pasta. The pesto is stirred in raw, never heated — cooking turns it brown and bitter.

Ingredients

• 400g trofie pasta
• 1 batch pesto genovese
• 200g green beans
• 200g new potatoes, diced

Method

1. Cooking — Cook potatoes 5 min; add green beans and pasta.
2. Cooking — Cook together until pasta is done.
3. Draining — Drain; toss immediately with pesto (off heat).
