Best Pasta With Walnut Lemon Cream Sauce Recipes

WALNUT SAUCE WITH PASTA

Steps:

• Cook your pasta in salty boiling water until al dente.
• Meanwhile, tear up the bread, place it into some milk, and leave to soak for a couple of minutes.
• Put the walnuts, garlic, and grated parmesan into a small food processor. Squeeze out the excess milk from the bread and add it to the other ingredients.
• Add the olive oil, 4 or 5 Tbsp of milk or pasta cooking water*, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Blend them all together until well combined.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Drain your pasta and reserve 1 cup of the starchy cooking water.
• Return the pasta to the pot, stir in the walnut sauce and add as much pasta cooking water as needed to thin out and give a nice and creamy texture to the dish.
• Serve immediately with an extra drizzle of olive oil, freshly ground pepper and extra grated parmesan cheese you like.

PASTA WITH WALNUT LEMON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In small saucepan, stir together whipping cream and lemon peel; simmer until cream is reduced by one-third, about 15 minutes.
• Cook the pasta according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, in large skillet, melt butter; saute mushrooms. Drain pasta and combine with cream, mushrooms, walnuts and cheese; toss lightly. Add salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley.

PASTA WITH WALNUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Put a large saucepan of water on to boil, and toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan until they begin to make a nutty aroma. Put the bread in a bowl and cover with the milk. Put most of the toasted walnuts (reserving about 1 ounce for garnish) into a blender along with the garlic, bread soaked in milk, and Parmesan. Blend until it turns smooth and creamy, then pour in the oil and season well with salt and pepper before blending again.
• Pour into a bowl, and set aside.
• Add pasta to boiling water with salt and cook for the required amount of time. When pasta is al dente, reserve a cup of the pasta cooking liquid and then drain the pasta, but put it in to a large bowl while it's still dripping slightly with water. Sprinkle a little olive oil over the pasta to prevent it sticking together, and then add the walnut sauce, mixing it into the pasta (splash in a little pasta cooking liquid to make the sauce less thick if needed).
• Roughly chop the remaining walnuts and toss them over the top along with some more Parmesan and the chopped parsley.

LINGUINE WITH LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to boil.
• Heat the butter in a skillet and add the lemon zest.
• Drop the linguine into the boiling water. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.
• Add the cream to the butter and lemon zest mixture. Add the pasta and lemon juice and stir until just heated through. Add the Parmesan and toss. Serve with additional Parmesan and lemon zest on the side.
