I’ve never been a big fan of the pasta salads, because it seemed to me to be not enough flavoured and that tends to insipid and (as I call it) to the “taste boredom”, but this is one of the two versions (both with Pesto alla Genovese) which literally make me mad, suggested by a friend, ex – chef. Perfect to enjoy in hot summer days!
Time of cooking
30 minutes + standing
Servings
4
What did I use
a large pot, ceramic or glass bowls, a spoon, a colander, a cutting board
Ingredients
Green beans: about 200 gr
Mozzarella Fior di Latte: 3
Potatoes: 3 little or 2 medium-sized
Pesto alla Genovese: 4 spoons
Pasta (short and possibly whole): 280 gr
How did I do
I boiled salted water in the pot.
I peeled and cut in little cubes the potatoes and in little pieces the green beans.
I boiled for about 10 minutes potatoes and green beans then I added the pasta and cooked it for the indicated time of cooking.
I dried it and let it cool.
I cut the Mozzarella in little cubes and dressed the pasta, potatoes and green beans with it together with the Pesto.
To obtain a good result I usually prepare it few hours before eating it and let it stand in the fridge wrapped few dozens of minutes before the meal.
P.s: one can use both the pasta and the Pesto gluten-free if one needs a celiac disease-friendly version.
Buon appetito!
