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, 4 to 6 min., until golden brown and 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, 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 often, 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!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
