A POT OF PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water, toss through a drizzle of olive oil, and return to the pot.
PIQUÁNTE PESTO
Place the chopped piquánte peppers, ¼ of the grated Garlic (to taste), and the chopped Almonds on a chopping board. Finely chop all the ingredients together, until combined into a chunky paste. Alternatively, use a blender if you have one. Place in a bowl and combine with 40ml of olive oil, seasoning, and the grated cheese.
BROWNED Beef
Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Beef strips dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the beef until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season.
ALL TOGETHER NOW
Toss the homemade pesto, the baby marrow ribbons, and the cooked Beef through the pot of cooked pasta. Loosen with the pasta water. Season.
