Preparation
Mise en place
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the stem ends of the green beans; cut crosswise into thirds on an angle. Small-dice the zucchini. Roughly chop the almonds.
Boil the pasta & green beans
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 last 1 to 2 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.
Sauté the zucchini
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and almonds. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant and lightly browned. Add the zucchini, spices and S&P. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until tender.
Make the sauce & combine the pasta
To the pan of zucchini, add the cream, pesto, ½ the reserved cooking water and 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and add the pasta and green beans. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined; season with S&P. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
