Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup (25g) ground walnuts
½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic (pressed)
½ cup (120ml) dry white wine
¼ cup (60ml) heavy cream (30-36%)
½ cup (100g) gorgonzola cheese (I used mild (dolce) variety)
2-4 tablespoons pasta cooking water
salt and black pepper (to taste)
6.5- oz (180g) spaghetti
fresh basil leaves
a few walnuts to sprinkle on top (toasted)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Prepare all the ingredients.
  • Cook the pasta al dente (it should have a bite to it), in a small amount of well-salted water. Drain the pasta about 30 seconds before the end of the cooking time, reserve about 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. While the pasta cooks, make the sauce.
  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan, add the walnuts, lemon zest, pepper, and garlic, cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the walnuts are slightly browned and fragrant.
  • Add the wine, cook, stirring constantly, for a couple of minutes, until almost evaporated.
  • Add the cream, turn the heat to the minimum and add gorgonzola, stir until cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, take the pan off the heat.
  • Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce and add about 2-4 Tbsp of the pasta cooking water (add more if the sauce is too thick).
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like lots of pepper).
  • Serve immediately (the sauce thickens quickly), sprinkle fresh basil leaves, grated parmesan and chopped walnuts on top (you can toast the walnut on a dry pan for extra flavor).
  • Enjoy!
