Instructions

  1. For the pesto: Finely chop the basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts and parmasan cheese. Once the mixture is extra fine, form it into a ball shape and place in a bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons over the pesto ball. Leave the pesto at room temperature. Bring 4-6 quarts of water to boil in a large pot. Add the penne. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a medium saucepan on low heat. Toss the green beans, bell pepper, zucchini for approximately 3 minutes or until slightly tender. Stir the oil and pesto until mixed thoroughly. Drain penne. Add one cup of penne to each bowl and top with 1 tablespoons of pesto sauce and two tablespoons of vegetables. Serve immediately.
