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)
  1. Bring water to boil in a large pasta pot and cook pasta according to box directions.
  2. Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
  3. Saute garlic in the melted butter until golden.
  4. Stir walnuts into garlic, cook for about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Set aside.
  5. When pasta is done, drain it, place it in a warm bowl and set it aside. 
  6. Stir the chives, lemon juice, Gorgonzola and cream cheese into the walnuts. 
  7. Heat the walnut/ cheese mixture in the pan over medium heat until warm.
  8. Mix the walnut sauce with the pasta. Top with Parmesan cheese if desired.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of milk to thin.
