Notes to the recipe: the mandilli are a very thin egg pasta, cut to small quadrates, seasoned with pesto Genovese, green beans and potato. This traditional recipe has a very ancient origin, without a doubt from the age when Genoa was a mighty  republic and perhaps also more time before. The trick of this recipe? a great harmony of simple ingredients, very difficult to find in other simple recipes.
