Directions

  1. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water as directed on the packet.
  2. Put the tomatoes in a bowl, cover with boiling water for about 40 seconds, then plunge into cool water. Peel off the skins. Crush the garlic.
  3. Put the tomatoes, garlic, pepper, Parmesan cheese and parsley in a food processor and blend to a smooth paste. Gradually add in the extra virgin olive oil, drop by drop, then add in the basil and walnuts.
  4. Drain the pasta and toss in the walnut sauce and cream. Garnish with sprigs of basil and serve at once with Parmesan cheese.
  5. NOTES : This is a very rich pasta dish. I usually use Fettuccine that are flat, ribbon noodles but for a change I use pappardelle. These are broader noodles that sometimes have wavy edges.
