- Bring large saucepan of water to a boil. Add in green beans and cook till just crisp-tender, about 3 min. Drain, rinse under cool water and drain well.
- Set aside.
- Make vinaigrette: In large shallow serving bowl, whisk together a[l ingredients. Add in pasta, green beans, toasted hazelnuts and pimientos and toss to combine. Sprinkle with parsley and capers if you like. Scatter cheese around edge of salad. Serve at room temperature or possibly slightly chilled.
