Preparation
Boil the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, 10 to 11 min., until al dente. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes. Remove the stems from the mushrooms; thinly slice. Using the flat side of your knife, smash the garlic cloves.
Sauté the vegetables & make the sauce
In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic cloves and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and sauté, 3 to 4 min., until golden brown. Add the tomatoes and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until beginning to soften. Add the pesto, demi-glace, reserved cooking water, spices and S&P; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until the sauce begins to thicken. Remove the garlic cloves.
Combine the pasta & serve
To the pan, add the pasta. Off the heat, add the mascarpone. Divide the pasta between your bowls. Bon appétit!
