Cavatappi with Pesto, Potatoes and Green Beans


Another great meatless meal that is easy to prepare!

serves 8 ( 1 generous c. = 6 points+)


  • 8 oz. uncooked cavatappi
  • 1 lb. yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 can ( 15 oz.) green beans, drained
  • 1/2 c. refrigerated, store-bought pesto sauce
  • 2 T. Parmesan cheese, grated
  • salt and pepper to taste


Place potatoes in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil; add cavatappi and bring to a boil again. Cook until noodles and potatoes are tender. Add green beans during the last minute of cooking to heat through. Drain entire mixture.
Place pasta mixture in a large bowl. Toss with pesto and Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
