How to Make Pasta With Walnuts
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 1 pound of pasta (your choice of shape) and cook according to package directions, until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, combine 1 cup walnuts, 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, and 2 cloves garlic in a food processor.
- With the food processor running, gradually add 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil until a creamy paste forms. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the walnut pesto sauce.
- Toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley or grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
