Tagliatelle with Walnut Sauce

Tagliatelle with Walnut Sauce is a traditional, rich, and creamy dish. Here is the recipe to prepare it:

Ingredients for the Walnut Sauce:

• 200 g of shelled walnuts
• 100 ml of cooking cream
• 50 g of grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Salt and pepper to taste

• A bunch of fresh parsley, chopped

Ingredients for the Pasta:

• 350 g of fresh or dried tagliatelle

Preparation of the Sauce:

1. Place the walnuts in a bowl with hot water for a few minutes, then drain and remove the outer skin if possible.

2. In a blender, blend the walnuts with garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper until you get a coarse paste.

3. Add the cream and Parmesan and continue blending until you get a smooth cream. If the mixture is too thick, add a little milk to soften.

4. Transfer the walnut cream to a pan and heat on low.

5. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tagliatelle until al dente.

6. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water.

1. Add the tagliatelle to the walnut cream in the pan, adding a little of the reserved cooking water to reach the desired consistency and stir gently.

2. Serve the tagliatelle with the walnut sauce, garnishing with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve the Tagliatelle with Walnut Sauce warm, with an additional sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. The richness of the walnuts combined with the creaminess of the cream creates an enveloping and delicious sauce, capable of enhancing the neutral flavor of the tagliatelle. Enjoy your meal!
