Transfer to small bowl and let cool.<\/p>\n<p \/>\nUsing a mortar and pestle or side of chef&#8217;s knife, mash garlic and 1 teaspoon salt until paste forms. Transfer to food processor along with toasted pine nuts, basil and pepper flakes and process until finely chopped. Add tofu and oil and process until mixture is smooth. Transfer to medium bowl and season with freshly ground pepper to taste. Set pesto aside.<\/p>\n<p \/>\nPlace potatoes in a steamer basket in large saucepan over 2 cups boiling water and season with remaining 1\/4 teaspoons salt. Cover and cook 4 minutes. Add green beans to steamer basket, cover and cook until potatoes and beans are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer vegetables to large serving bowl; cover to keep warm. Measure 1\/3 cup water remaining in steamer and stir into pesto until well blended.<\/p>\n<p \/>\nMeanwhile, add penne to boiling water; stir to prevent sticking. Cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p \/>\nDrain pasta, reserving a little cooking water. Add pasta to vegetables along with pesto, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed. Toss to coat well and serve hot.<\/p>\n<p \/><strong>NOTES:<\/strong><br \/><u>Per serving:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1215 kilojoules<\/li>\n<li>10 grams protein<\/li>\n<li>10 grams total fat (1 grams saturated fat)<\/li>\n<li>43 grams carbohydrates<\/li>\n<li>0 cholesterol<\/li>\n<li>687 milligrams sodium<\/li>\n<li>3 grams fiber<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Random Recipe INGREDIENTS: 1\/4 cup pine nuts 1 medium clove garlic, peeled and crushed 1 1\/4 teaspoons salt 1 1\/2 cups fresh basil leaves Pinch red pepper flakes 1\/2 cup low-fat firm silken tofu 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 450 grams \/ 1 pounds small red potatoes (about 6), cut into 3\/4 inch \/ [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":150,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-245456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245456","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/150"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245456"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245456\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245456"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245456"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
