Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup walnuts
½ cup olive oil
⅓ cup lightly packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 cloves garlic, smashed
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound fresh cheese tortellini
1 tablespoon salted butter

Steps:

  • Place walnuts, oil, parsley, 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender; pulse into a coarse puree.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain tortellini, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
  • Toss tortellini with 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water, walnut pesto, and butter. Add more of the cooking water if mixture seems dry. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese and pass more at the table.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less Parmesan cheese next time.

I'm not a fan of walnuts, so I substituted pine nuts in the pesto. It turned out great!

The pesto was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more garlic and Parmesan cheese next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The pesto was very heavy and the cheese tortellini was a bit too filling. I think I'll try making it with a lighter pesto next time.

The pesto was delicious, but the tortellini was a bit overcooked. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.
