Pesto Pasta with Green Beans and Potatoes Recipe

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente. Remove from heat drain and return to the pot.

Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil and cook the potatoes about 7 minutes. Place the green beans in the saucepan with the potatoes. Continue cooking about 3 minutes. Drain the partially cooked potatoes and green beans and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and saute the garlic about 1 minute. Stir in the potatoes and green beans. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until potatoes and beans are tender and lightly browned.

Toss the potato mixture into the pot with the drained pasta. Mix in the yogurt pesto and Parmesan cheese. Reserve a little Parmesan to sprinkle on top when serving.
