Ingredients
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
- Olive oil
- 1/4 cup
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup, freshly grated, plus extra for garnish
- Milk
- 1/2 cup
- Bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Walnuts
- 1 cup, lightly toasted
Instructions
- Begin by soaking the bread crumbs in the milk for about 10 minutes, or until they become soft and fully absorbed.
- In a food processor, combine the lightly toasted walnuts, minced garlic, soaked bread crumbs, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Process this mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you prefer a more pronounced flavor, you may want to add a touch more garlic or Parmesan.
- Serve this rich, nutty sauce over your choice of cooked pasta, garnishing with additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of indulgence.
Tips
- Toasting the walnuts before using them in the sauce will enhance their flavor, adding an extra layer of depth to the dish.
- For a vegan variation, substitute the milk with a non-dairy alternative like almond milk, and use a vegan cheese instead of Parmesan.
