Farro Pasta with Olive Oil, Chopped Parsley, Parmigiano, & Crushed Walnuts
Ingredients
12 oz package of Valicenti Farro Pasta
1/3 c fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 c walnuts, crushed and toasted
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, more as needed
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano to garnish
Method
Heat olive oil over medium-low in a saucepan, then add garlic and cook until aromatic. Then, add walnuts and red pepper flakes and cook together until they are also aromatic. Stir in parsley until well-incorporated, then remove from heat.
Boil pasta as the package instructs, then strain, and stir into the parsley-walnut mixture until it coats the pasta as a pesto would.
Top with grated Parmigiano and serve.
