Whip Up a ‘Luca’ Inspired Treat With This Awesome Recipe
I curled up with my family yesterday evening to watch Luca on Disney+. All I can say about this Pixar release is WOW! If you have a Luca family movie night in the cards that why not create a dinner to match.
The geniuses at Pixar took to social media over the weekend to inspire us with a delectable pasta recipe. Let’s take a look:

Trenette Al Pesto
Ingredients:
- 500 grams of Trenette or any other type of past you have at home.
- 100 grams of green beans cut into 1″ pieces.
- 1 yellow potato cut into 1 inch cubes.
- 45 leaves Basil Genovese (the Basil with the round leaves.)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons of grated Parmgiano
- 2 tablespoons of grated Pecorino
- 1 handful of pine nuts
- 100 ml of extra virgin olive oil.
- Put the basil and the garlic in a marble mortar with a pinch of coarse salt.
- Start mashing the basil in the pestle
- Slowly add a bit of the oil as you go.
- If you don’t have a pestle and mortar a food processor will do.
- Next and the pine nuts, grated Parmigiano and the grated Pecorino
- As you continue to add the olive oil the consistency should the same as a dense cream.
- If you’re using a food processor be careful not to keep it running for do long otherwise you’ll burn the basil.
- Now it’s time to boil the water for the pasta.
- Once the water for the pasta boils add some coarse salt to the pot.
- Thrown in the pasta.
- Add green beans and the potato.
- Drain the pasta once it is cooked but you want it a bit al dente, not too soft.
- Save a bit of pasta water to add to the sauce.
- Grab your serving bowl and add the pesto to the pasta.
- Add two spoonfuls of the pasta water to the pesto.
- Then add the pasta to the bowl.
- Mix the pasta and pesto together well.
- Serve it up!
