Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large steamer basket fitted over a pot of boiling water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes. Add the green beans to the potatoes in the steamer and continue to cook, covered, for another 4 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge into an ice bath to cool.
- Transfer the vegetables to a large serving bowl. Add the pesto and stir to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
- Make a big batch of this pesto in the summer when the basil is fresh and plentiful. You can freeze it in ice cube trays, bag up the cubes, and have it year-round to use as a pasta sauce or to enhance the flavor of one. It is also excellent as a sandwich spread.
- Toast the pine nuts in a small, dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and golden brown, shaking the pan frequently, about 3 minutes.
- In a food processor, process the pine nuts and garlic together until minced. Add the basil, Parmesan, lemon juice, and salt and pepper and process until finely minced. With the machine running, slowly pour the oil in a steady stream through the feed tube and process until well blended.
PESTO POTATO SALAD WITH GREEN BEANS
I love Pesto, and potatoes and green beans are two of my favorite vegetables. A delicious combination. Yukon gold potatoes can be cut into one inch pieces and substituted for the Dutch yellow potatoes.

Steps:
- Make the pesto--with the machine running, drop the garlic through the feed tube of a food processor.
- Add the nuts and cheese, and process until the nuts are finely chopped.
- Add the basil.
- With the machine running, gradually add the oil, scraping down the sides of the work bowl as needed, to make a thick paste; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the pesto to a shallow container and smooth the pesto; pour a thin film of olive oil over the pesto to discourage discoloration.
- Cover the container and refrigerate until ready to use (the pesto can be stored for up to 3 weeks, covered and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before using).
- Salad--bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Add the green beans and cook until tender, about 4 minutes.
- Using a skimmer or wire strainer, remove the green beans from the water and transfer to a bowl of cold water; drain and pat dry with paper towels.
- Add the potatoes to the water and return to a boil.
- Decrease the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 25 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse under cold water until easy to handle.
- Slice the warm potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds and transfer to a medium bowl.
- Whisk 3 tablespoons pesto, the vinegar, and oil together.
- Pour over the potatoes, add the green beans, and mix.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface of the salad and cool.
- Sprinkle with the basil and serve at room temperature.

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:
- Make pesto: Bring 2 cups water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add basil, and submerge with a spoon; immediately drain in a colander. In a blender, combine basil, pecans, garlic, lemon juice, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 cup water; blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Make salad: In a large saucepan, cover potatoes with salted water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 15 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon (reserve pan of water). When cool enough to handle, cut potatoes into quarters; place in a large bowl.
- While potatoes are cooling, return reserved water to a boil. Add green beans; cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain well; transfer to bowl with potatoes. Add pesto, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper; serve immediately.
