At the table

For the Consorzio del Basilico Genovese’s trofie recipe, use green beans and potatoes alongside pesto. Cook the vegetables and pasta together, managing their respective cooking times, or separately if that is easier.

Judge each ingredient’s doneness instead of assuming beans, potatoes and pasta always take the same time.
