When pata is cooked to within 2 to 3 minutes of al dente, drop in the green beans or peas. Cook until peas are just tender. Drain beans and pasta; refresh immediately under cold water, drain well and turn into a large serving dish. Add chicken. Place basil leaves, parsley, mayonnaise and 3 tablespoons of pine nuts into a food processor. Process to make a well blended, creamy mixture. With the machine running, pour the oil slowly through the food tube and blend well. Drop in the garlic and blend briefly. Season with salt & pepper. Pour dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl and toss. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of toasted pine nuts. Serves 6 to 8. EAT-L Digest 4 August 96 From the EAT-L recipe list.
