Спагетти с соусом песто грецкого ореха, Зеленые бобы и картофель

I first tasted this delicious healthy green dish in Sardinia but have since found out that it originates from Liguria. I have adapted it, omitting the cheese and using less oil. Traditionally trofie pasta is used but this is harder to get and I prefer to use wholewheat or spelt spaghetti anyway

Pesto

Ингредиенты в течение двух

a bunch of basil, about 50g (одной и 3/4 унции), include the stalks in the pesto

90грамм (3 унции) of walnuts

2 зубчика чеснока, рубленый

the juice of half a large lemon

150мл (5 и 1/4 жидких унций) of olive oil, and a drizzle more to serve

a teaspoon of coarse salt

a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper

200грамм (7 унции) of fine green beans (French beans) trimmed

300грамм (10 и 1/2 унции) картофель, scrubbed and cubed into 1 дюйм (2 и 1/2cm) штук

200грамм (7 унции) of wholewheat spaghetti

листья салата, чтобы служить

Метод

Soak the walnuts in just enough boiling water to cover them (about 150ml). This makes them easier to blend and means adding less oil later.

Allow the mixture to cool

Put on a large pan of salted water to boil (or use the kettle)

Add the potatoes to the boiling water, boil for about 5 minutes before adding the spaghetti, cook the spaghetti for 9 minutes adding the green beans for the last four (So the total cooking time is 14 minutes for the potatoes, 9 minutes for the spaghetti and 4 minutes for the green beans)

Добавить чеснок, the basil, the olive oil and some salt and pepper to the walnuts and their soaking liquid, blend or grind in a pestle and mortar

Слейте макароны, potatoes and beans reserving some of the cooking liquid, add the pesto and some of the liquid and use tongs to ensure its thoroughly coated

Serve with the salad leaves, a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of olive oil and more pepper. Buon appetito!
