TROFIE ALLA GENOVESE
Pesto pasta combined with potatoes and french green beans... hands down one of the tastiest vegetarian dishes I've ever had. Homemade trofie takes it to a whole other level, but I didn't feel like getting into all that here. Not quite authentic?-the lemon and vegetable stock are mine.

Steps:
- To make potato salad:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix potatoes and 3 tablespoons vinaigrette in large baking dish. Roast 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. and continue roasting until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 50 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and cool slightly.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Choose firm, waxy potatoes that will hold their shape well during cooking, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they may not cook through, and if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans will help them retain their vibrant green color and crisp texture.
- Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a high-quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Make your own pesto: Making your own pesto is easy and gives you the best flavor. You can use a food processor or blender to make it.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
