Trofie alla Genovese image

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.

Provided by Brian Genest

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

⅓ cup pine nuts
1 ½ cups chopped fresh basil
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 cups vegetable stock, or more as needed
8 ounces haricots verts
1 large russet potato, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 lb trofie pasta (preferably fresh)
4 wedges fresh lemon

Steps:

  • Start by making the pesto: Heat a dry pan over medium-low heat. Add pine nuts and roast, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor.
  • Add basil, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup olive oil, and garlic to the pine nuts; pulse until pesto is smooth. Add more olive oil if pesto is too thick. Season with salt and pepper and let rest for 1 hour.
  • Prepare pasta: Bring vegetable stock to a boil in a large pot. Add haricots verts and boil for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer, add potato, and cook until both are fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon, leaving broth in the pot.
  • Add trofie pasta to the broth and boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 8 minutes for dry pasta and 3 to 4 minutes for fresh. Drain.
  • Combine potatoes, green beans, and pasta with the reserved pesto and toss together. Plate immediately with a wedge of lemon.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

For potato salad:
2 pounds baby red-skinned potatoes, quartered
8 tablespoons Mustard Vinaigrette
2/3 cup crumbled Roquefort cheese
1/2 pound haricots verts, trimmed
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted, chopped

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. Mix in 3 tablespoons vinaigrette and 1/3 cup Roquefort cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cook haricots verts in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold water to cool; drain well. Transfer to medium bowl. Mix in 3 tablespoons cheese, 2 tablespoons vinaigrette and walnuts. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange beans on platter. Mound potatoes in center of platter atop beans. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

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.

Conclusion:

Haricots verts and potatoes with pesto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of fresh green beans, tender potatoes, and flavorful pesto is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
