Preparation
Boil the pasta & string beans
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the stem ends of the string beans; cut into 1-inch pieces. 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 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. Reserve the pot.
Make the crunchy crouton topping
Meanwhile, lightly crush the croutons into large crumbs. In a small bowl, combine the croutons, ⅓ of the garlic, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of the spices.
Combine the pasta
In the reserved pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the remaining garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the demi-glace, cream, roasted red pepper spread, pasta and string beans, and remaining spices. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until combined. Add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
