Method

1. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Add the runner beans to the pan for the last 4min of the pasta cooking time.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan and gently fry the ham and the shallot for 2-3min. Add the garlic and cook for a further 1min.
