Instructions
Bring 2 large pots of salted water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice and cold water. In one pot, boil green beans 3 minutes; drain and plunge in ice water to stop cooking. In the other, cook pasta until tender to the bite, 9 to 12 minutes or according to package directions.
Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water until completely cool (see Notes).
In a food processor, pulse mayonnaise, Roquefort, and vinegar until well combined but still slightly chunky.
In a large bowl, toss together pasta, green beans, Roquefort dressing, parsley, chives, bacon, and pepper until pasta is well coated. Season with salt to taste.
