Preparation
Boil the pasta
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, core and thinly slice the sweet pepper. Halve the lemon; juice ½ and cut the remaining ½ into 2 wedges.
Make the sauce
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the garlic and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant. Add the sweet pepper, cream, demi-glace, spices and ½ the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 min. (2 to 3 min. for 4 portions), until beginning to thicken. Add ½ the lemon juice, 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and S&P; stir well.
Combine the pasta & serve
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta; stir well. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency. Divide the pasta between your bowls. Garnish with the cashews and lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
