Pasta With Walnuts

Be the first to rate this recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 lb linguine (or spaghetti or other long pasta)
  • salt, to taste
  • fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup walnut halves (or pecan halves)
  • 1/2 cup loosely-packed fresh parsley (or basil leaves)
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Meanwhile, combine the nuts, parsley and garlic in a small food processor (or use a mortar and pestle) and turn the machine on. With the machine running, add the oil gradually, using just enough so that the mixture forms a creamy paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the pasta, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but not mushy. When it is ready, drain it--reserve some of the cooking water--and toss with the sauce; if the mixture appears too thick, thin with a little of the pasta-cooking water or more olive oil.
  3. Serve!
