Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
One 8-ounce package whole-grain or gluten-free fusilli pasta, such as Tru Roots
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
8 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut in 1-inch pieces
One 10-ounce bag frozen peas
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/3 cup store-bought pesto
1/2 cup ricotta cheese, such as Calabro

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Sprinkle generously with salt. Add the pasta and cook 1 minute less than the package instructions, about 5 minutes. Drain well, reserving 1/3 cup of pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and shallots with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 1 minute. Add the green beans and another 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the beans are just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Stir in the peas and cook another minute to warm through. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the reserved water. Top the bare pasta with the Parmesan and add the pesto. Toss well to coat. Dollop the ricotta over the top and serve.

Overall, this was a good recipe. I would definitely make it again, but I would probably make a few changes.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. The pesto was too runny and the green beans were too crunchy.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, so I wasn't sure if I would like this dish. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The pesto was very flavorful and the green beans added a nice crunch.

This recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found that the green beans needed to be cooked for a little longer than the recipe stated.

I'm not sure what happened, but my pesto sauce turned out really bitter. The dish was still edible, but it wasn't as good as I was hoping.
