PASTA, GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES WITH PESTO
The most elegant pasta dish that Italian cooks have ever invented is astonishingly simple to make. Here, the magical green sauce is tossed with trenette (or any long pasta you can twirl around a fork), tender slices of potato and barely blanched green beans.

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.

Steps:
- If making fresh pasta, beat the eggs together in a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough flour to make a soft, pliable dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Shape it into a ball, cover with a damp towel and let rest for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, to make the sauce, place the garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 cup of basil in a food processor and pulse until chopped. Add the remaining basil and process until chopped. Add the pine nuts, cheeses and olive oil and process until the mixture forms a smooth paste. Set aside.
- Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Simmer over medium heat until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Divide the pasta dough in half and keep 1 piece wrapped in the towel. On a lightly floured surface, roll and stretch the pasta dough into a 13-by-16-inch rectangle. Let stand for 5 minutes. Cut across into 1-inch-wide strips. Repeat with the remaining dough. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fresh or dried pasta until al dente, about 5 minutes for the fresh or 10 to 12 minutes for dried. Drain well and place in a large bowl.
- Toss the pasta with the pesto and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Toss in the broccoli and potatoes. Divide among 4 plates and serve.

BEST EVER PESTO & POTATO PASTA
A child-friendly take on pasta alla genovese. Kids can help make the green sauce and toss the whole mix together

Steps:
- KIDS: the writing in bold is for you. GROWN-UPS: the rest is for you. Pick the basil for the pesto. Get your child to pick the basil leaves off the stalks. Ask them to look at and smell the leaves as you tell them the name of the herb until they remember it - try to do this with all herbs when you can.
- Make the pesto. Toast the pine nuts in a pan over a low heat. A child of seven years plus can stir the nuts in the pan. Tip into a mini chopper (or use a pestle and mortar) with the basil, parmesan, garlic and olive oil. Blitz or pound into a green sauce, then set aside.
- Chop up the beans. Using a child-friendly knife, get children from the age of five to chop the green beans into shorter lengths, and quarter the potatoes. Younger children can snap the beans into short lengths while you prepare the potatoes.
- Cook the vegetables and pasta. Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the potatoes and boil for 3 mins. Remove from the heat and ask the child to tip in the pasta and give it a stir. Put the pan back on the heat, boil the pasta for 5 mins, add the beans and cook for a final 3 mins.
- Mix everything together. Drain everything well and tip into a bowl. Spoon most of the pesto into the pasta and stir everything together to coat. Bring the large bowl of pasta to the table and serve with extra parmesan, more basil and remaining pesto, if you like.
