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.

- Dry-roast your pumpkin seeds. You can either do it on a hot, dry pan making sure you shake it regularly so that they do not burn. They are done when lightly golden and cracked in places and fragrant. Alternatively, you can roast them in a 180° C / 355° F oven but be aware that this works better for larger quantities or else they burn rather quickly. I tend to roast at least 2 cups of seeds at a time for about 8-10 minutes. Allow them to cool down completely before blending in the pesto.
- Grind the pumpkin seeds first, then add all the remaining ingredients apart from olive oil and salt and blitz well. I used 4 tbsp / ¼ cup of lemon juice in my pesto, as I like a bit of lemon flavour but please adjust the amount to your taste. Once everything is minced well, start adding olive oil. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste (I used approximately 1 tsp in total).
- You can transfer your pesto to a clean jar, cover with a generous amount of oil and store in the fridge for about 1-2 weeks. Alternatively store the pesto in an ice cube tray in the freezer and defrost individual cubes as and when needed.
- Heat up a griddle pan. Brush your zucchini / courgette slices with a little bit of olive oil, season and arrange on the preheated pan. Allow them to char on one side before flipping the slices to the other side. Take off the pan, allow to cool down and slice into smaller pieces.
