Ingredients

• 1 box mezze penne (short cut penne pasta), such as Barilla brand, or

another short cut of pasta

• Salt

trimmed and rough chopped

• 2 tablespoons pistachios, toasted

• 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted

• Juice and zest of a lemon

• A handful of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

• Pepper

• 1/2 pound haricot vert

• 2 Yukon Gold potatoes, small diced

Directions: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it and add the pasta. Cook to al dente; drain, reserving 1-2 cups of the starchy cooking water.

While the pasta is cooking, make the pesto by combining the garlic scapes, basil, parsley, tarragon, mint, pistachios, pine nuts, lemon juice and zest, Parmigiano Reggiano and salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse to combine; stream in the EVOO until it forms a paste and set aside.

Bring a medium size pot of water to a boil, salt it and add the haricot vert. Blanch for 1-2 minutes; remove with a spider or strainer and cold shock in ice water. Cut into 1- inch pieces. Bring the water back to a boil and add the diced potatoes. Cook for 3-5 minutes, removing once soft and cooked through.

In a large bowl, gently mix together the cooked pasta with the pesto, haricot vert and potatoes and season to taste. Use the starchy cooking water to loosen it up, if necessary.

In a separate shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds and mix. Place each burger in the shallow dish, patting them into the breadcrumb mixture to make it stick.

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the vegetable oil. Add the burgers to the pan and cook for 1 minute per side, or until golden brown on the outside and still raw in the middle.

Place a burger on each of the bun bottoms, then top with a spoonful of the mustard sauce, some lettuce and a couple slices of pickled ginger. Place the tops on and serve.
