3) In a saucepan, boil about 2 quarts of salted water, add your favorite gluten free pasta, the potatoes and the green beans.

4) Cook together for about 12 min or follow the instructions on the package.

5) Rinse the pasta with the potatoes and the green beans and take 1/2 cup of this water and add it to the pesto in the food processor or the blender and mix it all again. You may add more water from the already boiled pasta if your sauce is too thick.
