If you’re going for a sign of love dish, this creamy walnut pasta is just the thing! ✨

Ingredients:

Serves 4

· 2 cups toasted walnuts

· 2-3 cloves garlic, peeled

· 400g Barilla orecchiette

· Zest of one lemon and some juice

· 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

· Lots of freshly ground black pepper

· To serve: thyme, homemade bread crumbs, chile oil

Method:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt

2. Crush the walnuts & garlic together in a pestle & mortar.

3. Cook the pasta as per package instructions in salted water. Reserve 2 cups of the pasta water.

4. Fry breadcrumbs in a pan with a little oil until they crisp up and turn golden and transfer to a plate and set aside

5. Add the crushed walnut mixture to a frying pan. Whisk 1 cup of pasta water into the walnut mixture, adding more until your sauce is thick as heavy cream. Sauté in half the cheese & more freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt

6. Transfer the cooked pasta to the sauce in the pan and toss with the walnut sauce (sautéing in the pan). Sprinkle with lemon zest & top with some fresh thyme, a generous squeeze of lemon, breadcrumbs, and a drizzle of chili oil. Season to taste.
