Preparation
Boil the pasta & green beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise. Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente. In the final 2 to 3 min., add the green beans. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Transfer to a bowl.
Make the sauce
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the demi-glace, cream, pesto, spices and ½ the reserved cooking water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until slightly thickened.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta, green beans and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 30 sec., until warmed through and combined. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your plates. Bon appétit!
