PASTA WITH WALNUTS
From Mark Bittman's "Quick and Easy Recipes" from the New York Times. This is like a winter pesto, with a higher percentage of walnuts and parsley (always available) filling in for summer's basil. If you have basil though, by all means use it.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Meanwhile, combine the nuts, parsley and garlic in a small food processor (or use a mortar and pestle) and turn the machine on. With the machine running, add the oil gradually, using just enough so that the mixture forms a creamy paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cook the pasta, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but not mushy. When it is ready, drain it--reserve some of the cooking water--and toss with the sauce; if the mixture appears too thick, thin with a little of the pasta-cooking water or more olive oil.
- Serve!

SPAGHETTI WITH BROCCOLI AND WALNUT-RICOTTA PESTO
This spaghetti sauce is a creamy, pungent walnut-thickened pesto that is thinned out with a small amount of cooking water from the pasta. Break up the broccoli florets so the flowers are quite small. They will absorb the sauce in the nicest way when you toss everything together.

Steps:
- Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop in the garlic. When it is chopped and adhering to the sides of the bowl, turn off and scrape down the bowl. Add the walnuts and basil and process to a paste. Add the ricotta, 2 tablespoons warm water, and Parmesan and pulse until well blended. Add the olive and walnut oils and process until smooth and homogenous. You can also make this in a mortar and pestle. Taste and add salt as desired. Transfer to a wide pasta bowl.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and boil 5 minutes. Add the broccoli and continue to boil until the pasta is al dente, about 4 more minutes. Before draining the pasta, remove 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Add 1/4 cup of it to the ricotta mixture and stir until well blended. The sauce should have a creamy consistency (add more of the pasta water if necessary). Drain the spaghetti and broccoli and toss at once with the sauce. Serve, passing Parmesan or Pecorino on the side.

Tips for Making Perfect Spaghetti with Roasted Broccoli and Walnuts:
- Choose the right pasta: Spaghetti is the classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other long pasta shapes like linguine or fettuccine.
- Roast the broccoli to perfection: Roasting the broccoli brings out its natural sweetness and gives it a slightly charred flavor. Make sure to toss the broccoli with olive oil and season it with salt and pepper before roasting.
- Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
- Use a flavorful cheese: Parmesan or pecorino Romano are both great choices for this dish. You can also use a combination of the two cheeses.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice: Lemon juice brightens up the flavors in this dish and helps to balance out the richness of the cheese. You can add it to the pasta before serving or drizzle it over each individual serving.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti with Roasted Broccoli and Walnuts is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The roasted broccoli and walnuts add a wonderful flavor and texture to the dish, and the lemon juice helps to brighten up the flavors. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
