I love walnuts and I love fettuccine, so this works for me very well as comfort food. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts |
8 ounces fettuccine |
boiling salt water |
1 cup whipping cream |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
2 tablespoons butter |
freshly grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Spread walnuts in a shallow pan and bake in a 350° oven for 10-12 minutes or till lightly browned; cool slightly.
2. Cook fettuccine in boiling salted water, per package directions, until al dente; drain thoroughly.
3. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine walnuts, cream, garlic, salt and pepper; whirl, using on-off bursts, until walnuts are coarsely ground.
4. Place hot drained pasta in a serving bowl and toss with butter until well coated; top with walnut sauce; toss gently.
5. Serve immediately, passing cheese at the table to sprinkle on individual servings.
