• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. Trim and halve green beans. Finely chop celery, onion (see ingredients) and garlic. • Cut deep slices, taking care to not slice all the way through, across wholemeal panini in 1cm intervals. Push basil pesto into slices with the back of a spoon and wrap in foil. • Place panini directly on wire racks in the oven and bake until heated through, 8-10 minutes. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add green beans and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.

• Pour boiled water into a large saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt. • Add fresh fettuccine to the boiling water and cook until °al dente°, 3 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people/1 cup for 4 people). Drain and return to the saucepan.
• Reduce frying pan to medium heat, the add tomato paste, garlic and herb & mushroom seasoning and cook, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add red wine jus, beef-style stock powder and reserved pasta water and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, then add cooked fettucine and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. • To the bowl with the beans, add mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Toss to combine and season to taste.
