Angel Hair with Walnut Sauce
Toasted walnuts and Gorgonzola are favorites of mine. They add depth to this delicious and elegant pasta side dish.
8 ounces angel hair pasta
2 tablespoons butter 2 cloves minced garlic 3/4 chopped walnuts 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh chives |
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese 4 ounces light cream cheese 1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese (optional) |
- Bring water to boil in a large pasta pot and cook pasta according to box directions.
- Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Saute garlic in the melted butter until golden.
- Stir walnuts into garlic, cook for about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Set aside.
- When pasta is done, drain it, place it in a warm bowl and set it aside.
- Stir the chives, lemon juice, Gorgonzola and cream cheese into the walnuts.
- Heat the walnut/ cheese mixture in the pan over medium heat until warm.
- Mix the walnut sauce with the pasta. Top with Parmesan cheese if desired.
