PASTA WITH WALNUTS



Pasta With Walnuts image

From Mark Bittman's "Quick and Easy Recipes" from the New York Times. This is like a winter pesto, with a higher percentage of walnuts and parsley (always available) filling in for summer's basil. If you have basil though, by all means use it.

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb linguine (or spaghetti or other long pasta)
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 cup walnut halves (or pecan halves)
1/2 cup loosely-packed fresh parsley (or basil leaves)
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Meanwhile, combine the nuts, parsley and garlic in a small food processor (or use a mortar and pestle) and turn the machine on. With the machine running, add the oil gradually, using just enough so that the mixture forms a creamy paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the pasta, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but not mushy. When it is ready, drain it--reserve some of the cooking water--and toss with the sauce; if the mixture appears too thick, thin with a little of the pasta-cooking water or more olive oil.
  • Serve!

Tofu Pesto Pasta Recipe image

The tofu gives this pesto pasta recipe a cheesy creaminess, and the spices and basil make such a delicious sauce.

Provided by Miriam Hahn,Tasting Table Staff

Categories     main course

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 package extra firm tofu
8 to 12 ounces pasta (any type)
1 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves + more for topping, slivered
¼ cup nutritional yeast
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons walnuts
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons water
Juice from 1 ½ lemons (or just one if it is large and juicy)
1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt (or other coarse salt)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup reserved pasta water
¼ cup toasted pine nuts, for topping
1 to 2 plum tomatoes, chopped, for topping

Steps:

  • Remove the tofu from the package and discard the water.
  • Press the tofu by placing it in a shallow bowl or dish. Place a flat plate on top of the tofu and place something heavy on top of the plate. Let it sit for about 20 minutes, then pour out the water collected in the bowl.
  • When the tofu is ready, prepare the pasta by following the instructions on the box, reserving ¼ cup of the cooking water.
  • Cube the pressed tofu and add it to the food processor along with the basil, nutritional yeast, garlic, walnuts, olive oil, 3 tablespoons water, lemon juice, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper. Blend until it is a smooth sauce.
  • Drain the cooked pasta, and place the drained pasta back in the pot.
  • Add the sauce and reserved cooking water. Stir to combine.
  • Serve in individual bowls and top with basil, tomatoes, and pine nuts.
