Peel potatoes and cube (cut to 3/4 to 1 inch pieces). Boil potatoes in salted water until tender. Do not over-cook.
Meanwhile, steam string beans until tender but still crisp and set aside with potatoes.
In a heavy skillet or cast iron frying pan, heat oil and add halved cloves of garlic and finely chopped onion. Saute until golden crisp.
Meanwhile, cook pasta noodles in salted water. Cook al dente. Drain, add potatoes, string beans and toss gently.
Add butter to heated garlic and onion sauce to melt. Pour sauce over pasta mixture, add pepper, Parmesan cheese and work through very gently.
Serve this pasta dish with extra Parmesan cheese and French bread.
To add a pesto flavor, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh basil (basilica) and toss gently to coat.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
