Linguine with Walnuts (Linguine con le noci)

Linguine con le noci is a traditional pasta dish originating from Abruzzo. The dish is usually made with a combination of linguine pasta, garlic, walnuts, olive oil, parsley, and salt. The pasta is boiled in salted water until al dente. The garlic, walnuts, parsley, and salt are beaten into the olive oil with some pasta cooking water.

The sauce is tossed with the drained pasta and the dish is served immediately. If desired, add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
