Preparation
Boil the pasta
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, 8 to 10 min., until al dente. Reserving 1 ½ cups cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, roughly chop the roasted peppers. Halve the broccoli if large. Drain and rinse the kidney beans.
Cook the broccoli & make the sauce
In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic, broccoli and ½ cup water. Cook, stirring frequently, 4 to 5 min., until beginning to soften. Reduce the heat to medium and add the roasted peppers, kidney beans, demi-glace, ½ cup water, the spices and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until warmed through.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta, ½ the cheese and 3 tbsp butter; toss well. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your bowls. Garnish with the remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
