Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the radishes.
- Halve, peel and mince the shallot.
Make the sauce & combine the pasta
- In a large pan, heat 3 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium.
- Add the shallot and walnuts. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until softened and the butter begins to foam; season with ½ the spices and S&P.
- 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.
Make the salad
- 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.
Finish & serve
- 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.
- Serve the salad on the side. Bon appétit!
