OLIVE-WALNUT PASTA



Olive-Walnut Pasta image

Double down on the olive oil flavor in this dish by warming a generous amount with torn green olives to dress your pasta. While you can use just one kind of olive, like mild Castelvetrano, a variety will create depth of flavor. Adding chopped walnuts provides texture and a nice dose of protein to this vegan dish, while lemon zest and juice perk everything up. It would also be good with soft herbs like oregano, dill or basil, a salty cheese like feta or Parmesan, or shrimp that's been cooked with the pasta in the last few minutes of boiling.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound short pasta, like orecchiette, cavatelli, fusilli or elbows
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups chopped walnuts
1 1/4 cups Castelvetrano olives (or a mixture of green olives), pitted and torn
1 small garlic clove, peeled
1 lemon, zested and juiced (about 3 tablespoons juice)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When the water's boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.
  • While the pasta's cooking, in a large Dutch oven, stir together the olive oil, walnuts and olives. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and the walnuts are toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, finely grate in the garlic clove and season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Add the pasta and 1/4 cup pasta water to the walnut mixture. Cook over medium-low, stirring and adding pasta water as needed, until the pasta is well coated. Remove from heat and stir in half the lemon zest and all the lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and more lemon zest.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces shelled walnuts
1/2 clove garlic, minced
1 slice bread, crusts removed
2/3 cup whole milk
1 ounce grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil (preferably Ligurian)
Salt and pepper
2 pounds any flat short pasta
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put a large saucepan of water on to boil, and toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan until they begin to make a nutty aroma. Put the bread in a bowl and cover with the milk. Put most of the toasted walnuts (reserving about 1 ounce for garnish) into a blender along with the garlic, bread soaked in milk, and Parmesan. Blend until it turns smooth and creamy, then pour in the oil and season well with salt and pepper before blending again.
  • Pour into a bowl, and set aside.
  • Add pasta to boiling water with salt and cook for the required amount of time. When pasta is al dente, reserve a cup of the pasta cooking liquid and then drain the pasta, but put it in to a large bowl while it's still dripping slightly with water. Sprinkle a little olive oil over the pasta to prevent it sticking together, and then add the walnut sauce, mixing it into the pasta (splash in a little pasta cooking liquid to make the sauce less thick if needed).
  • Roughly chop the remaining walnuts and toss them over the top along with some more Parmesan and the chopped parsley.

SAUTéED CHICKEN WITH WALNUT SAUCE



Sautéed Chicken With Walnut Sauce image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 chicken, cut into serving pieces (legs and thighs should be severed at the joint)
Salt and pepper
2 ounces French or Italian bread
1 cup milk or stock
4 ounces walnuts, about 1 cup
1 small clove garlic, peeled
1/4 cup walnut, hazelnut or olive oil
Paprika or chili powder to taste
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, optional

Steps:

  • Turn the heat to medium under a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces without crowding them; use two skillets if necessary. Cook on the first side about 10 minutes, rotating the pieces and adjusting the heat as necessary to brown the pieces evenly. As the pieces brown, season with salt and pepper. Cook the second side as you did the first, then turn once or twice more until done, a total of 20 to 30 minutes. (You can check for doneness by cutting into the pieces; there should be no sign of blood, although traces of pink are all right. The breast and wing pieces will finish cooking first; keep them warm in a low oven, or just set them aside and serve them less than piping hot.)
  • Meanwhile, soak the bread in the milk or stock. Put the walnuts, garlic and some salt in the container of a food processor, and pulse to grind coarsely. Gently squeeze some liquid from the bread, and add the bread to the container, along with the oil. Process until combined but not puréed. Add as much of the remaining milk or stock as necessary to give the mixture a mayonnaise-like consistency. By hand, add the paprika or chili powder, and stir in the parsley if you are using it. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  • Serve the chicken hot or at room temperature with the sauce spooned over it.
