Preparation
Boil the pasta & string beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the stem ends of the string beans; halve. 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 final 2 to 3 min., add the string beans. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Transfer to a bowl.
Make the sauce
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Sauté the garlic, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the demi-glace, cream, pesto, spices and ½ the reserved cooking water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until slightly thickened.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta and string beans, and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 30 sec., until warmed through. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.

Divide the pasta between your plates. Bon appétit!
