Pasta butterbean salad

11 ingredients Serves 2 openrecipes

You have to go a long way to beat a home-made pesto and its flavour is well matched in this dish by the creaminess of the butterbeans. This pesto is made with parsley, so it has a mild flavour, but traditionalists can replace it with basil.
