Add the pasta to the pot and cook until al dente.

In a blender, combine 200 gr of basil, garlic to taste, salt, pepper, 50 gr of pine nuts, and approximately 60 gr of olive oil. Blend until the basil is still visible and not pureed.

Once the pasta is cooked, transfer it to a warm pan (not boiling) with a little cooking water and the potatoes.

Add the pesto to the pasta without cooking it.

Add the cheese, mix well, and serve.
