📝 Intro

A deliciously creamy pasta dish made with blended walnuts, garlic, and olive oil. This recipe is simple, satisfying, and full of earthy flavor — perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a comforting weekend dinner.

🧾 Ingredients

• 200g Pasta – Spaghetti or Linguine
• 180g Walnuts
• 1g Garlic, minced
• 10g Parsley, chopped
• 25g Grana Padano, grated
• 20g Olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Chillies – dry or fresh (optional)

🔪 Instructions

1. Prepare the Walnuts
   Boil the walnuts for 3–5 minutes. This softens them and helps remove bitterness and skins. Drain, pat dry with a kitchen towel, and let them cool. Once cooled, blend them into a creamy paste.
2. Cook the Pasta
   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Cooking time will vary depending on the brand and type — always check the label.
3. Make the Sauce
   While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a pan. Add the garlic and sauté until golden (watch it carefully to avoid burning). Add the chilli (if using), then immediately stir in the walnut cream. Season with salt and pepper. Add 2 ladles of pasta cooking water and stir to combine into a creamy sauce.
4. Combine Pasta and Sauce
   Drain the pasta and add it directly into the pan with the walnut sauce. Mix well until the pasta is evenly coated and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
5. Serve
   Plate the pasta and top with freshly grated Grana Padano and chopped parsley.

💡 Notes & Tips

• For a smoother sauce, add a bit more pasta water as needed.
• You can substitute Parmesan if you don’t have Grana Padano.
• Use whole grain pasta for a heartier, nuttier flavor combo.
