Trenette al Pesto with potatoes and green beans is one of the most traditional pasta dishes from Liguria, the beautiful coastal region in northern Italy where Pesto Genovese was born.This recipe combines trenette, a long flat pasta similar to linguine and bavette, with homemade Pesto Genovese, tender potatoes, and green beans. The result is a creamy, fragrant, and very satisfying dish, where the starch from the potatoes helps the pesto coat the pasta beautifully.
