Linguini with Pesto, Beans and Potatoes

My husband had this pasta at Trattoria da Mamo in Venice a few years ago, and has been asking me to make it ever since.  I found Mario Batali's recipe on Food and Wine's website.  This came out pretty close to what my husband remembers having at the restaurant.

I could not find trenette pasta so I used linguini fini.

The recipe is pretty straight forward.  You make the pesto in a food processor.  Separately you quickly cook the beans, boil the potatoes and cook the pasta.  Once everything is done combine the beans, potatoes and pasta in a large bowl and pour the pesto over everything until coated.  Delizioso!
