SPAGHETTI GENOVESE

One of my fave resto here in Britain is Bella Italia.
It has been bringing a taste of Italy to the UK since the early 90s. 
They serve delicious pizza and pasta with a superb range of grill and specialty dishes. 

I love their Spaghetti Genovese so much that I want to learn how to cook it. 
I'm just so lucky that I have my clever mentor/chef Kuya Donard who taught me how to do it. 
Blimey! It's so easy!

This vegetarian pasta dish is the perfect solution when you want something quick and tasty
- and everything's cooked in one pan.

Ingredients:

300g new potatoes, sliced

500g spaghetti

300g trimmed green beans, cut in half

190g Pesto

olive oil, for drizzling
Parmesan Cheese/Parmigiano-Reggiano

Method:

Pour a kettle of boiling water into a very large pan until half full. Return to the boil, then add the potatoes and spaghetti, and a little salt. 

Cook for 7 minutes until the potatoes and pasta are almost tender.

Tip in the green beans and cook for 5 minutes more.

(A shorter cooking time of pasta results in a more al dente texture)

Drain well. Return the potatoes, pasta and beans to the pan, then stir in the pesto. Season to taste and drizzle with a little olive oil. Sprinkle the Parmesan Cheese.

I recommend SACLA Italia Classic Basil Pesto : )

It's best to serve it with grilled chicken...

Bon Appétit!
