Method

Step 1

Add the basil leaves, garlic, and pinch of salt in a food processor. Pulse a few times until everything is finely chopped. Add nutritional yeast and walnuts and pulse again. While the food processor is running, gradually add the olive oil until you have a creamy pesto.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add a pinch of salt. Add the Barilla Linguine pasta, potato cubes, and green beans and boil for 8 minutes until al dente. Drain, keeping some of the cooking water for the sauce.

Step 3

Add the pesto to the pot used to cook the Barilla Linguine pasta. Add the pasta back in and a few tbsp pasta water. Gently toss to coat and serve.

Linguine

Linguine is made from long, flat strands of pasta and is a close relative of Fettuccine, while being thinner and narrower. Linguine means “little tongues” in Italian and originated in the Liguria region of Italy. It pairs perfectly with seafood and light sauces.
