What we need:

- 1tbsp pesto
- Fresh green beans cut into small pieces

How to cook:
- Boil the water for the pasta (Ratio of about 1 cup of orzo to 2.5-3 cups of water).
- Add the orzo with salt and the green beans until soft. (add salt if you want to flavor the beans).
- Remove from the heat when the pasta is still runny.
- Add the olive oil, pesto, pine nuts and parmesan and stir before serving.
- You can modify ingredients according to preference( eg using red pesto, less parmesan, no pinenuts, other types of pasta).
