This is a favorite of mine. I've substitued almonds or pine nuts for the walnuts. Original recipe calls for 1 cup nuts - I use half that amount.
Ingredients
- 1 lb dried spaghetti shopping list
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley shopping list
- 3 to 4 tablespoons chopped fresh sage shopping list
- 1 garlic clove, chopped shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/2 to 1 cup walnuts, toasted and cooled (toast nuts in a shallow baking pan in a 350° F oven until golden, 5 to 15 minutes) shopping list
- 1/3 cup olive oil shopping list
- 1/3 cup grated parmigiano-Reggiano plus additional for serving shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Cook spaghetti in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
- While pasta is boiling, blend parsley, sage, and garlic with salt in a food processor until finely chopped.
- Add walnuts and pulse until finely chopped.
- With motor running, add oil in a steady stream.
- Turn off motor, then add 1/3 cup cheese and pepper and pulse to combine.
- Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander.
- Thin pesto with reserved cooking water in a serving bowl, then add pasta and toss to combine.
- Sprinkle with cheese before serving.
