Ligurian pasta with pesto and green beans

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

A recipe to welcome all the last green beans that are growing in my garden. The original Ligurian recipe calls for potatoes as well, so feel free to add them if you like. <br /> <br />I am using linguine here. The original recipe calls for Trenette, or - even better, trofie, but good substitutions would be tagliolini, tagliatelle... I also like it with any egg-based long or short pasta. <br /> <br />Oh, and...don't be afraid to USE THAT OIL! I can't stress enough how the quality of the olive oil is paramount for great results in this recipe. Use an EVOO oil you really, really like.
