Method

Chef's tip

This recipe can also be made using Barilla Gluten Free Spaghetti pasta.

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.
