Instructions
0 Bring a large pot of salted water (about 1/4 cup kosher salt for 5-6 quarts water) boil. 1 Put the pistachios on a cutting board and chop into crumbs with a large knife. Pile the onion, scallion, garlic and parsley on top and chop everything together until fine. 2 Transfer parsley mixture to a bowl. Stir in olive oil, cheese, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. 3 Put the pasta into the boiling water and cook until almost al dente. Toss in the green beans and cook a few more minutes. Just before draining, scoop out ¼ cup of the pasta water and stir into the pesto. 4 Toss the hot pasta and green beans with the pesto and serve. Sprinkle with additional cheese, if desired.View original recipe
