A first course that is quick to prepare and aesthetically pleasing to present.
Ingredients for 4 people- 400 g of Armando mafalde
- 100 g of shelled walnuts
- 80 g of grated Parmesan cheese
- Sausage to taste
Start by making the walnut pesto: blend the walnuts with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt for about 8 minutes (this process takes a bit of time because it's crucial not to overheat the blender blades, which can make the pesto bitter). If desired, you can add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese.
Cook the Armando mafalde in plenty of lightly salted boiling water. Then, add a ladle of the pasta cooking water to the pesto for a creamier consistency.
Once the mafalde are al dente, transfer them to the container with the walnut pesto, add the sausage and mix everything well.
Plate and garnish with chopped walnuts and the remaining sausage.
Enjoy your meal!
