Dinner: Pasta alla Genovese

Tonight I had the help of my closest girlfriend Issy, now Issy is one of those people that are very hard to please when it comes to food and better yet she is a vegetarian... that doesn't like tofu.
(WHAT KIND OF VEGETARIAN ARE YOU!)

But I still had not only her company but her amazing skills with a knife.


Tonight if you haven't noticed I made Pasta alla Genovese which is basically a fancy way of saying Pesto Pasta, this dish is quite basic but it did test my patience when it came to waiting for the potatoes to cook then the pasta, then the beans (which Issy couldn't stop nibbling on).


I didn't really have any major problems with this recipe, however I may have cheated a little and I didn't make the pesto sauce myself :S

Issy pointed out that the mixture of potatoes, beans and pasta gave off a Irish/ Italian feel, then we started speaking with funny accents... weird I know.


Tip:
How to test if the pasta is ready is to throw it at a wall (and then at Issy) and if it sticks it's ready, do it three to four times just to double check.

Now I'm sure you have been wondering if this meal has pleased Issy and to my surprise it has :)
She loved it, her bowl is now empty as I am typing this and she rates it a 9.5/10 because it didn't have chocolate... mmm chocolate...


















A picture Issy took of me while I was eating... the sly child.
