Tagliatelle, Genovese-style

Egg pasta and pesto together is a piece of cooking genius really, and just about the only successful tweak you can make is to add a few green beans and some very thinly sliced potato – like they often do in Genoa. If you haven't had it before, try it – you'll like it, and it's really quick and easy.
