It’s pasta night and you’ll wrap a ribbon round it in no time. This quickie but goodie—which takes just 10 minutes of cooking time—puts the spotlight on one of the most generous cuts of pasta out there: fresh pappardelle. The noodles and green beans (boiled in the same pot for convenience) nestle up against ground pork sausage sauced with sun-dried tomato pesto.

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.
Cook the sausage meat
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 sausage meat*; season with the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 6 to 8 min., until cooked through.
Boil the pasta & green beans
Meanwhile, add the pasta and green beans to the pot of boiling water, separating the strands as you add them; stir gently. Boil, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of sausage meat, add the demi-glace, pesto, pasta and green beans, ½ the reserved cooking water, 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until the pasta is coated 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. Garnish with the cheese. Bon appétit!
