Healthy Recipes came across this recipe recently and thought it was a great change from a regular meal, and the fact we use fresh green beans is such a healthy plus.
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 lbs fresh green beans, ends nipped
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, separated
4 ripe tomatoes diced
1/2 cup sliced black olives, not drained
3/4 lb angel hair
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup pesto sauce
Freshly ground pepper
Sea salt for boiling pasta hair
NOW FOLLOW ME:
Using a large saucepan of sea salted water, bring to a boil.
Add fresh green beans only for 1 to 2 minutes to colour them. Remove with slotted spoon.
Add angel hair pasta to boiling water and cook according to package (usually al dente (firm). Drain well, but save 1/2 cup of cooking water.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in large skillet and add beans, tomatoes, olives. Stir fry for one minute. Add balsamic vinegar with the freshly ground pepper. Remove pan from heat and mix ingredients well.
Add pesto sauce to hot, drained pasta in saucepan and add 2 tbsp remaining extra virgin olive oil and the reserved water from the angel hair pasta.
Add contents of skillet to sauce pan and toss all the foodies together – serve immediately! Wow - this is a dish to remember!
Healthy Recipes recommends this incredible dish, which, incidentally took only 20 minutes to prepare.
