Steps

1
Prepare the pasta according to the package directions. I like to use a smaller shape like elbows, mini wagon wheels, ditalini, or farfalle. Drain and add to a large bowl or storage container. Toss with the oil and let cool at least slightly.
2
Stir in the cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, and pesto. Start with 1/2 cup pesto and add more as you like. The more you add, the more flavor it will have (which may be good or bad depending on your preference!)
3
Season to taste with salt. Serve at room temperature or store and serve later.
