Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and toss with 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the olive oil. Set aside. In a small saucepan, heat the chicken stock and garlic. Add beans and stir gently. Cover and simmer gently over low heat for 5-10 minutes. Set aside. In a large wok or skillet, heat remaining 2 tbsp (25 mL) of olive oil over medium-high heat.
