[recipe*] Walnut Cream Pasta

[Guest guest]

Speaking of comfort foods, this is a really quick and

delicious creamy pasta dish that you can throw together

in no time. With our super-busy schedules in Autumn

this makes a great meal with crusty bread and a nice

vegetable salad.

I have even added sauted leftover veggies to this to

make it more of a vegetable primavera dish. It is a

great way to clean out the fridge.

 

Walnut Cream Pasta

 

1 package (12 oz) fettuccine

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 Tbs butter or margarine

1/2 cup vegetable broth

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup whipping cream

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup finely chopped walnuts

 

Cook the fettucine according to package directions.

 

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, saute garlic in butter

for 1 minute. Gradually stir in broth. Reduce heat.

 

In a bowl, combine sour cream, whipping cream, salt and

pepper; stir into broth mixture (do not boil).

 

Drain fettuccine and place in a large pasta serving bowl.

Add the cream sauce, Parmesan cheese and walnuts;

toss to coat.

Yield: 6 servings
