    Ingredients for 4 people
    • 333.33 g of spaghetti alla chitarra Armando
    • 1.33 clove of garlic
    • 400 g of frozen porcini mushrooms
    • Parsley stalks to taste
    • 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
    • FOR THE WALNUT PESTO:
    • 133.33 g of walnuts
    • Basil
    • Parsley
    • Pepper
    • 2.67 tablespoons grated cheese
    • 2.67 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    Preparation

    Start by making the walnut pesto: blend the walnuts with a few basil leaves, parsley, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and extra virgin olive oil until you obtain a fairly smooth cream.

    In a pan, sizzle a crushed clove of garlic, a couple of parsley stalks, add the frozen porcini mushrooms and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.

    Cook the Armando spaghetti alla chitarra in plenty of lightly salted boiling water. When they're al dente, transfer them to the pan with the mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes, adding a ladle of the pasta cooking water.

    Once the heat is off, add the walnut pesto and, if necessary, add a little water to combine everything.

    Finally serve with some chopped fresh parsley.

    Enjoy your meal!
