Try this delicious pasta dish:

Toast pine nuts:

Toast pine nuts in a frying pan without fat over medium heat until golden. Rinse basil, pluck off leaves, chop coarsely. Peel garlic, roughly dice.

Cook pesto:

Finely chop basil, pine nuts and garlic in a hand blender. Add oil and whisk to a paste. Finally, add cheese and season with salt and pepper.

Make pasta & beans:

Clean beans, rinse. Remove skin from potato, rinse and dice.

Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions. 8 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the beans and the potato and simmer.

Arrange pasta:

Drain pasta mix (reserving a small amount of pasta water), mix with pesto. If the mixture is too “compact”, fold in a small bit of pasta water. Serve sprinkled with pepper.

Freeze pesto pasta sauce in advance: freeze finished pesto in portions and stir into hot pasta as needed. Shelf life is about 6 months.
