The Italian pasta trick no one talks about (except nancyharjenkins)
And then I noticed that, unlike in some versions of this classic pesto pasta from Liguria, the recipe Jenkins published inthe pasta in a well-timed swim. In go the potato slices first, then the green beans, and then the pasta. After bubbling together, they’re hauled out to mingle with pesto and then, in short order, your mouth.
When I asked Jenkins about this technique, she told me that home cooks in Italy layer vegetables straight into the pasta pot often, famously with, and almost always with broccoli rabe. Not only is this method much faster and more mentally streamlined than the rigor of fishing out each vegetable the moment it’s cooked just right, but the pasta absorbs some of the flavor in the vegetables, too.
“You’re not going to do it with something like eggplant,” Jenkins then said. “Because I think boiled eggplant is one of the worst foods in the world. But any kind of green!”, I was curious about the potential inexactness of the method. What if the only green beans you could find were quite fat and squeaky ? The potatoes starchier, the pasta a thick linguine instead of the traditional trenette?
“For the potatoes, it doesn’t matter, as long as they’re done—it’s okay if they break up a little. The green beans,” she admitted, “you don’t want to be soggy.” But even that depends on personal taste.
