Cooking Steps

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

2

Meanwhile, trim and cut green beans into 1-inch pieces. Place in a large bowl with 1 TBSP water; microwave on high until bright green and tender, 2 minutes. Immediately stir in pesto and return to microwave; cook 20 seconds more. Toss to coat.

3

Add pasta to boiling water and cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cooled, at least 30 seconds. Transfer pasta to the bowl with pesto green beans. Add parmesan. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.

RECIPE SUGGESTION (Additional ingredients not included.): Stir in halved grape tomatoes and toasted pine nuts for a loaded pasta salad!
