- 1 bunch spring onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 400 grams pasta
Method
- Trim the ends of the beans and slice diagonally. Blanch in boiling salted water until almost cooked. Drain well.

- Crush, peel and mash the garlic to a paste. Trim and finely chop the spring onions and cook them over a moderate heat for about 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock and simmer for a further 3-5 minutes. Blend the butter and flour together and mix into the sauce and cook over a low heat until the sauce has thickened.
