Method
Step 1
Wash and dry the basil leaves and crush in a mortar with peeled garlic, pine nuts and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Add oil in a steady stream while crushing with the pestle until a smooth pesto sauce is obtained. Pesto can also be made in a blender: do not overprocess and use quick pulses, so that the pesto does not heat up.
Step 3
Pour pesto in a bowl and combine with half the grated Parmigiano and Pecorino cheeses.
Step 4
Dice the potato and cut the green beans into pieces. Boil the linguine, diced potato and green beans in plenty of salted water for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Drain, combine with pesto and a few tablespoons of cooking water and serve immediately with the remaining grated Parmigiano.
Linguine
Linguine, a close relative of Fettuccine, is made from long, flat strands of pasta, but is thinner and narrower. Linguine, which means “little tongues” in Italian, originated in the Liguria region of Italy. Throughout this area, the air is fragrant with salty ocean breezes and the aroma of delicious food cooking.
Barilla® Linguine is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.
