  Really enjoyed this especially as it used the exact ingredients I had. Adjusted this for just 2 of us, and only used a small amount of pesto as I don't like too much. Also, the beans were frozen so microwaved them and then added them as the same time as pesto. Will cook this again!

  i know your probably checkign out ingredients list and thinking potatoes and pasta, slightly weird? but this is amazing. used a few chopped up rashers of leftover bacon which gave lovely contrasting texture. i cannot believe how gorgeous this tastes considering how few calories it contains! my husband and scrounging brother in law loved it and it's definately one i'll be makign a lot in future.

  it was nice, but nothing special. Possibly my own fault as I only used pesto from a jar. The potatoes didn't bring much to the dish.

  Really nice and filling. I'm a little bit obsessed with green beans, so is perfect for me!

  Pesto is made of parmesan cheese: Parmesan/Parmigiano-Reggiano is an EU Protected Designation of Origin product and has to be made using calf rennet, so it�s definitely NOT suitable for vegetarians.

  I used this as inspiration for a true store cupboard rescue lunch when home sick. Had to use frozen peas instead of the beans, different pasta and ended up throwing in a bit of feta too, but it was pretty good for what it was. Might make the original again as an easy meal for one or even as a side dish with fish or chicken. Also, to Jacqueline above, it's vegans who don't eat cheese, most vegetarians do.
