  • Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 150 g Walnuts

  • 150 ml Milk, whole milk

  • 1 slice Bread, wheat

  • 1 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 50 g Cheese, Parmesan, grated

  • 1 spoon Oil, olive

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 400 g Pasta, Macaroni

Steps

  1. Cut the crust off the bread to get the center, place it in a bowl, and pour milk over it.

  2. Place a pot with a larger amount of salted water for cooking pasta on the stove. Add the penne to the boiling water and cook for the time indicated on the package.

  3. In the container of an electric chopper (multipurpose kitchen machine), add walnuts, Parmesan, olive oil, peeled garlic, and the soaked bread center. Grind the ingredients finely to get a thick and creamy sauce, which you season with pepper and salt to taste. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with milk.

  4. Just before draining the penne, save a cup of the cooking liquid. Drain the penne and return it to the pot, then pour the walnut sauce over it. Add enough of the saved liquid to get a medium-thick sauce that clings nicely to the pasta.

  5. Serve the penne on plates. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, sliced chives, or coarsely chopped walnuts on top, then serve the dish.
