Notes: This recipe makes extra arugula pesto; cover and chill up to 1 week (or freeze airtight up to 1 month). Use the leftover pesto for other pasta dishes, stir it into minestrone and other Italian soups, or use it in sandwiches or as a topping for pizza. Ingredients:
8 ounces yellow wax beans and/or green beans, rinsed, ends trimmed, and cut into 1-inch lengths |
12 ounces dried farfalle (bow tie) pasta |
about 3/4 cup arugula pesto |
1/4 cup grated pecorino romano or parmesan cheese |
1/2 cup yellow and red cherry tomatoes, stemmed, rinsed, and halved |
Directions:
1. In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring 4 quarts water to a boil; add beans and cook just until barely tender to bite, about 1 minute. With a skimmer or slotted spoon, remove from water and transfer to a colander; rinse under cold running water until cool.
2. Bring water back to a boil. Add farfalle and cook until tender to bite, 14 to 16 minutes. Drain.
3. In a large bowl, mix pasta, beans, and 3/4 cup pesto. If more sauce is desired, add up to 1/4 cup more pesto. Top with cheese and halved cherry tomatoes.
