Adapted from California Walnuts. This speedy main meal or delicious side is ready in less than 30 minutes. Garnish with extra grated lemon peel and walnuts. Note: I've made this minus the mushrooms and still great. Ingredients:
1 cup whipping cream |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1 lb pasta, uncooked (linguine or penne works well) |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms |
1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted |
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese |
salt and pepper |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. In small saucepan, stir together whipping cream and lemon peel; simmer until cream is reduced by one-third, about 15 minutes.
2. Cook the pasta according to package directions.
3. Meanwhile, in large skillet, melt butter; saute mushrooms. Drain pasta and combine with cream, mushrooms, walnuts and cheese; toss lightly. Add salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley.
