Best Gorgonzola Linguine With Toasted Walnuts Recipes

GORGONZOLA WALNUT PASTA

Steps:

• Prepare all the ingredients.
• Cook the pasta al dente (it should have a bite to it), in a small amount of well-salted water. Drain the pasta about 30 seconds before the end of the cooking time, reserve about 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. While the pasta cooks, make the sauce.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan, add the walnuts, lemon zest, pepper, and garlic, cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the walnuts are slightly browned and fragrant.
• Add the wine, cook, stirring constantly, for a couple of minutes, until almost evaporated.
• Add the cream, turn the heat to the minimum and add gorgonzola, stir until cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, take the pan off the heat.
• Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce and add about 2-4 Tbsp of the pasta cooking water (add more if the sauce is too thick).
• Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like lots of pepper).
• Serve immediately (the sauce thickens quickly), sprinkle fresh basil leaves, grated parmesan and chopped walnuts on top (you can toast the walnut on a dry pan for extra flavor).
• Enjoy!
