Directions
Step 1Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook potatoes for 10-15min until tender. Add beans for final 4min of cooking. Drain, hold briefly under cold running water to stop beans overcooking, then drain again thoroughly.
Step 2Tip potatoes and beans into a large bowl, add pesto, spring onions and plenty of freshly ground black pepper; mix gently with your hands. Serve warm or at room temperature.
