Recipe Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.

- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the radishes.
- Halve, peel and mince the shallot.

- Add ½ the vinegar and cook, stirring often, 30 sec. to 1 min., until slightly reduced.
- Add ¼ of the reserved cooking water and the demi-glace; whisk well.
- Add the pasta and S&P. Cook, stirring often, 30 sec. to 1 min., until heated through and combined.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the remaining vinegar, 3 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
- Add the baby greens and radishes; toss well.
- To the pan, 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 cheese.
