Fall recipes: Pasta with creamy garlic and walnut sauce

For some reason, the spreadsheet wouldn't open this morning to be able to view the recipe names.
You’ll discover in this Italian California dish a robust flavor with the Romano cheese and a yum factor with the California walnuts. Pair with a glass, or bottle, of buttery Chardonnay from Flora Springs vineyard in Napa Valley

Pasta with Creamy Garlic and Walnut Sauce

  • 1 ½ cups of heavy cream
  • 1 cup of walnuts
  • ¾ cup of shredded romano cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • 1 pound of bow tie shaped pasta

Directions: place cream, walnuts, cheese, salt and pepper and garlic into a food processor and blend until mixture is smooth. Cook pasta according to the package directions, and drain. Toss pasta with the sauce and return to a pan to heat the sauce. May garnish with cilantro and additional walnuts. *candied walnuts make the pasta have a little sweet kick.
