In a steamer, steam green beans until tender, about 7 minutes. Remove

minced. Add olive oil, process until smooth, and set aside.
In a large bowl, add green beans, potatoes, pasta, and pesto and toss to
combine. Add reserved cooking water if needed to moisten, or drizzle
with additional olive oil. Serve immediately.
