Basil pesto pasta has long been a summertime staple in my house. For a change, I've also experimented with mixing pesto with other starches -- here potatoes and some meaty romano green beans. When I first tried this, I happened to have half a bunch of Tuscan kale (also known as lacinato or dinosaur kale), so I tossed that in and decided it's a keeper.
