Tips:

Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Choose fresh walnuts, cream, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for the best results.
Toast the Walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a lovely nutty aroma to the pasta. Be sure to toast them until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
Don't Overcook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and will hold the sauce better.
Use a Good Quality Cream: The cream is a key ingredient in this dish, so use a good quality cream that has a high fat content. This will help to create a rich and creamy sauce.
Add the Walnuts and Herbs at the End: Add the toasted walnuts and chopped herbs to the pasta just before serving. This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.

This walnut cream pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of walnuts, cream, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese creates a rich and flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone. Serve it with a side salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal.
