Steps:
- Make the pesto: Heat a skillet and lightly toast the pine nuts until fragrant. Set aside. Blanch the basil (to prevent oxidizing) by bringing a pot of water to a boil and preparing an ice bath. Place the basil in the boiling water for 15 seconds; then immediately remove with a slotted spoon to an ice bath to stop the cooking. When the basil is cool, remove, squeeze out the water, and set aside. In a blender, add the basil, pine nuts, garlic, oil, a pinch of salt, and ¼ cup Parmesan. Mix until combined but still slightly chunky. Remove to a bowl and stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan.
- Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of water with three pinches of salt to a boil. Add the potatoes, cover, and bring back to a boil, 2-3 minutes. Add the linguine to the boiling water and after several minutes, add the green beans. Continue cooking until the pasta's al dente, about 3 minutes less than what the box advises. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, drain, and return the pasta, potatoes, and green beans to the pot.
- Assemble the dish: Toss the pasta water back into the pasta mixture; then stir in the pesto. Add the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and toss, using the heat from the pasta to create a rich and aromatic sauce. Place in a serving bowl, top with more Parmesan, and serve.

Steps:
- About 1 hour before you make the pesto, wash the basil in cold water; wrap in paper towels and refrigerate (this will help to prevent the sauce from heating up in the machine).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Set up the blender or food processor; add the basil, ½ cup olive oil, garlic, and nuts to the blender or processor; whirl to a thick paste; add more oil if necessary.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and first stir in the cheeses, then taste to determine how much salt to add.
- In another bowl, work the butter with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula as if creaming it for a cake.
- When it is very soft and smooth but not at all melted, fold it into the pesto with the milk; set aside at room temperature while you cook the pasta.
- Generously salt the boiling water and drop in the pasta.
- Cook, stirring often, until al dente.
- Reserve about ½ cup pasta water; drain the pasta without shaking it bone-dry.
- Transfer the pasta to a warmed serving bowl and nap it with the pesto; toss gently, add a little of the pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, to loosen the sauce.
- Pass any remaining pesto at the table along with some extra grated cheese; serve at once.

LINGUINE AL PESTO (LINGUINE WITH PESTO SAUCE AND POTATO)
Steps:
- When cooking the pasta, add a potato to the salted water. This trick returns to the pasta the starch it tends to lose in draining, thus preventing the linguine from clumping. Drain the pasta cubes along with the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water. Transfer the pasta and potato to a large bowl and dress them with the pesto and butter. If the pasta looks too dry, add a little of the reserved cooking water. Serve in individual dishes, topping each with grated Parmesan cheese and pepper.
- If using a food processor, put the garlic, pine nuts, a pinch of salt, the basil, and the oil into the bowl and process it until the ingredients form a smooth paste. Add the Parmesan and the pecorino and pulse just to combine. Taste and adjust the salt.

Steps:
- Make pesto: In the bowl of food processor, add basil, pine nuts, salt and garlic. Pulse until mixture is coarse and grainy. With the motor running, add oil in slow, steady stream. Add cheese; process just enough to mix well. If sauce is too dry, add a little more oil. Taste; add more cheese or salt, if desired.
- Bring 6 quarts water to rolling boil. Add at least 2 tablespoons salt and the potato slices. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until potatoes have started to soften but are not cooked through. Add green beans, and continue boiling another 5 minutes.
- Add pasta, and stir. Start testing pasta at 5 minutes. When it is done, and when potatoes and beans are tender, drain and turn pasta and vegetables immediately into preheated bowl. Add pesto, and mix thoroughly. Serve immediately.

- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Set a colander in a large bowl of ice water (this will make it easier to strain the basil later). Working in batches, blanch basil for 10 seconds. Using a large slotted spoon, transfer basil to colander in ice water; let cool completely. Set aside 1/2 cup blanching water. Reserve pot with blanching water.
- Drain basil by lifting colander from ice water. Using your hands, squeeze excess water from basil; transfer basil to paper towels. (You should have about 1/2 cup.)
- Place blanched basil, 1/2 cup Parmesan, pine nuts, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until well combined, adding blanching water by tablespoonfuls to thin if needed, and stopping occasionally to scrape down sides. Process until a smooth, thick purée forms, about 1 minute.

- Making the trofie pasta: Mix the 2 flours and knead them with about 125-130 g water and a pinch of salt. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, covered with a cloth or bowl. Remove a few little pieces at a time from the dough (about the size of chickpeas). Then roll them up in your hands, holding the top of each piece and twirling them. Then flatten them with your hands, pressing each piece slightly with a diagonal movement.
- Making the pesto: Crush the garlic clove in a mortar with a few grains of coarse salt. Add the pine nuts and basil, crushing them gently with a pestle. Incorporate the grated parmesan and pecorino cheese. Finally, mix it with the oil. If you prefer using a blender, start by creating an emulsion with the pine nuts, chopped garlic and a little oil. Then add the basil and the rest of the oil. At the end, mix in the cheeses with a spoon.
- Boil the trofie in salted water for 4-5 minutes. Drain al dente and season with the pesto, diluting it with 1-2 tablespoons of cooking water from the pasta.
