1 lb. fettuccine

1 clove garlic
-
2 oz butter
-
2 oz olive oil
-
1 ½ cup walnuts
-
1 cup heavy cream

½ cup grated parmesan

1 t. salt and pepper
In a food processor mix walnuts and olive oil. Meanwhile, melt butter and lightly brown the garlic in a large sauté pan. Add the walnut mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes and then add the cream and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, adding salt and pepper. Meanwhile, cook the pasta and drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the nut sauce (and add a bit of the reserved cooking water if it looks too dry). Remove from the heat and mix in parmesan cheese and serve immediately. Serves 4+.
