I think it's a traditional Italian dish. I've been doing it for years. You cook finely sliced rounds of new potatoes in with the pasta, then mix with cooked green beans and pesto and the extra starchy pasta water.

It#s a one pot dish really as the green beans might as well go in the pasta water too.

I thought it was called pasta Genovese. Whatever it's called I really love it and haven't made it for ages. Will do soon though!

Yeah that's what I thought it was called! but when I put the combo in to google it kept saying lugurian or whatever I typed before :)) It is alla genovese though, I do agree with you.

So glad you liked it Dics! I was so close to making the prosciutto wrapped salmon with lentils (vintage Jamie :love: ) but had 2 bags of organic new potatoes I'd bought on a yellow sticker so had to use them :))

W: Takeout to celebrate the election plus all the red wine :lol:
T: Carbonara (with frozen peas for health) with rocket salad.
F: Tapas - all the salty snacks (giant corn, habas fritas, smoked almonds, breadsticks, serrano ham) padron peppers, manchego, membrillo, chorizo in sherry, olives, salad.
S: Pizza - going for a pizza rosa, a sausage and sweet onion one from the same book plus a margherita for Liv. Olives, parmesan roasted artichokes and rocket salad.
S: Greekish feast tbc but definitely involving halloumi as I went to the Greek store in Bayswater this afternoon to stock up on the real deal.
