Pesto lasagna with green beans and potatoes is a very appetizing and tasty baked dish to prepare for Sunday lunch but also when you have more time to dedicate to cooking with a dish full of flavor! Baked pastas smell
of festive convivial Sunday lunches where the whole family is at the table and the hostess arrives triumphantly with a steaming baking dish, enveloping everyone with the aromas of dishes prepared with time, care, and love! On the lasagna recipe blog
there are quite a few, and below I leave you the recipes of my favorite dishes…
Green beans, also known as string beans or snap beans, belong to the Legume family. The bush-shaped plant produces pods of various shapes and colors ranging from white to purple, passing through all possible shades of green.
How to cook green beans quickly?
We can boil them in salted water, then season them with oil and lemon juice, or once cooked, sauté them in a pan with oil and butter.
Green beans are also excellent in brothy soups, in purees with mixed vegetables.

Tips and notes
*Remember that if you want to maintain the green color of the vegetables, you need to boil them and then place them in a bowl with ice water after boiling. The green color of vegetables is due to chlorophyll, which contains a magnesium ion.
The high temperature of boiling causes hydrogen ions released during cooking to replace those of magnesium, turning the bright color of chlorophyll into a dull, sad green.
By placing the vegetables in ice-cold water, the cooking process is instantly halted, and the chlorophyll remains in its best state, beautifully green!!!
