"This is my second order for your oregano and
I would like to say that it is the "BEST" I have ever used. It is better,
much better, than my own home grown oregano. I want to thank you people for
a superior product that I absolutely love and so do the friends I share it
with...God Bless"

1/2 lb green beans, trimmed
1/2 lb new potatoes, scrubbed and peeled
1 lb Tagliatelle or linguine pasta

- Directions:
-
- Crush garlic and pine nuts in a large mortar to make a smooth paste.
Add basil leaves to the mortar a little at a time.
Crush to a coarse paste, grinding leaves against side of mortar with pestle.
Add a pinch of salt and continue crushing.
Gradually stir in cheese.
Drizzle in olive oil and continue working until pesto is very smooth and no large pieces of basil are visible.
Set aside.
Cook green beans for about 3 minutes in boiling water.
Remove with a slotted spoon.
In the same water, boil potatoes until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain, cool, and slice.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat and cook pasta until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain, but reserve 2 tbs pasta water and add it to pesto.
In a large serving bowl, toss pasta, green beans, potatoes, and pesto.
