Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Faire bouillir l'eau

    Remplis la casserole d'eau à moitié et porte à ébullition à feu vif. Ajoute une pincée de sel.

    Tip · Si l'eau bout trop fort, baisse un peu le feu pour éviter les projections.
  2. Cuire les pâtes

    Plonge les 160 g de pâtes dans l'eau bouillante et laisse cuire selon le temps indiqué sur le paquet (généralement 8 à 10 min).

  3. Cuire les haricots

    Dans la même casserole, ajoute les 200 g de haricots verts surgelés et laisse cuire 5 min à partir de la reprise de l'ébullition.

  4. Égoutter les pâtes

    Verse le contenu de la casserole dans la passoire pour égoutter pâtes et haricots ensemble.

  5. Répartir dans la poêle

    Transfère les pâtes et haricots égouttés dans la poêle chaude (sans matière grasse).

  6. Ajouter le pesto

    Incorpore les 60 g de pesto et mélange bien pour enrober les pâtes et les haricots.

    Tip · Si le mélange est trop sec, ajoute une cuillère à soupe d'eau de cuisson des pâtes pour détendre le pesto.
  7. Servir avec le parmesan

    Répartis le plat dans deux bols de service. Râpe les 20 g de parmesan sur le dessus de chaque portion.
