If you have gathered some 'wild' walnuts, their strong flavour makes them ideal for this recipe. Alternatively use imported cultivated ones.
Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons good olive oil
175g shelled walnuts, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon double cream
a handful of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
freshly ground black pepper
Sweat the garlic in the olive oil, then throw in the walnuts and toast for a few minutes. Add the double cream and bubble until slightly reduced. Then stir in the Parmesan and season with black pepper to taste. To serve, toss with freshly cooked tagliatelle or penne, and take more grated Parmesan to the table.
