This recipe could join your weeknight meals round because it is a simple pasta dish with a rich nutty flavour and a super creamy sauce. You just need simple ingredients to achieve the plate. The first time I tried this recipe, I couldn’t believe how fast and quick I did the sauce. I made it so fast that I had to wait a little more for the large pot of water to simmer.
Ingredients:
- Garlic
- Parsley
- Nuts
- Heavy Cream
- Salt

You will make a sauce in a food processor by pouring all the ingredients (fresh garlic, parsley leaves, nuts, heavy cream, salt and pepper) except the pasta, and that’s it. Then you will heat the sauce in a saucepan or large skillet and add some of the pasta cooking water to rich that creamy pasta consistency. Meanwhile, you will have to cook the pasta as per the package instructions in a large pot of salted water and reserve a cup of pasta water to add to the sauce if required. Mix the cooked pasta with the sauce and serve it with grated parmesan. Then you need to enjoy this nutty pasta.
