Ziti with Pesto and Potatoes

The green beans and potatoes can be cooked 1 day in advance. Leave the potatoes whole and peel and chop them just before using. Add the potatoes and green beans to the boiling pasta 1 minute before the pasta is al dente, to heat them through. Drain the pasta and vegetables and then toss with the pesto as directed.
