Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salty water to a roaring boil and cook pasta according to package instructions.
  2. Add the green beans and corn to the pot 2 minutes before the pasta is estimated to be done cooking.
  3. Drain the pasta, beans and corn in a strainer and place in a large bowl.
  4. Drizzle in the pesto and toss well to combine. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste (or more pesto if you wish!)
  5. Garnish with grated parmesan cheese to serve.

Notes

  • While I prefer to use fresh green beans, you could also use frozen or canned.
