Pesto pasta with charred beans and potatoes from Ottolenghi Comfort (page 201) by Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh and Tara Wigley and Verena Lochmuller

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute orecchiette or cavatelli for trofie.

    Similar to the Ligurian classic. The addition of the charred beans is nice and the pesto is well balanced. Quite nice and comforting as written.

    Already made this twice in two weeks. Putting it in the rotation. Simple, delicious, and of course, comforting.
