Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Faire bouillir l'eau

    Remplis la casserole d'eau froide à hauteur de 2/3 et porte à ébullition à feu vif. Ajoute 10 g de sel quand l'eau bout.

    Tip · Si l'eau bout trop fort, baisse un peu le feu pour éviter les éclaboussures.

  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 8-10 min).

  3. Cuire les haricots verts

    Dans une poêle à feu moyen, fais chauffer les 200 g de haricots verts surgelés avec 2 cuillères à soupe d'eau pendant 5 min. Couvre pour accélérer la cuisson.

  4. Égoutter les pâtes

    Sors les pâtes de l'eau avec la passoire et réserve 100 ml d'eau de cuisson. Secoue bien pour éliminer l'excès d'eau.

  5. Mélanger les ingrédients

    Dans un bol, mélange les pâtes égouttées, les haricots verts cuits, le pesto et la moitié du parmesan (15 g). Ajoute un peu d'eau de cuisson si nécessaire pour lier.

    Tip · Goûte avant de servir et ajuste l'assaisonnement avec un peu de sel si besoin.

  6. Servir et parsemer

    Répartis les pâtes dans deux assiettes, saupoudre avec le reste du parmesan (15 g) et un tour de poivre si tu aimes.
