Time 30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 ½ cups California walnuts, toasted
4 cups Italian parsley leaves, packed
2 cups Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, freshly grated
4 cloves garlic
1 ½ cups extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
4 pounds pappardelle pasta, fresh
1 ½ cups California walnuts, toasted, chopped
3 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Place half of the walnuts, parsley, cheese and garlic in food processor; process until finely chopped.
  • With motor running, slowly pour in half of the oil; puree until smooth. Transfer to bowl and repeat with remaining ingredients, making a total of 2 batches. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. (Makes approximately 4 cups).
  • Cook pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, reserving some of the cooking water. For each serving, toss 2 cups cooked pasta with 1/4 cup walnut pesto, adding some of the reserved cooking water as required to thin the pesto; toss well to coat evenly.
  • Transfer to warm pasta bowl; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese as desired. Serve immediately.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would be better if you used more garlic and herbs to flavor the pesto. The pappardelle pasta was cooked well though.

I thought this dish was just okay. The walnut pesto was a bit too nutty for my taste and the pappardelle pasta was a bit too al dente. I think it would be better if you used a different type of pasta and cooked it for a little longer.

The walnut pesto was a bit too oily for my liking. I think it would be better if you used less oil or added some bread crumbs to thicken it up. The pappardelle pasta was cooked perfectly though.
