10/10 ligurian pesto

Molto, molto italiano (yes, I know this is a terrible indulgence to write these words). I have been dying to try a classic ligurian pesto (with blanched green beans and boiled potatoes along with pasta), and I have no idea what I was waiting for.

Here you go folks:One thing of note here. I got the "fancy" pasta (because that's the only kind that you can find at the Berkeley Bowl in the appropriate trennette variety). This happened to cost FIVE DOLLARS, which is a lot to pay for dried pasta. However, perhaps unfortunately (for my budget and underlying belief in what's right and fair), this pasta was amazing. The flavor was outstanding. It really made the rest of the dish shine. Those expensive pasta bastards.
