"I made this many years ago to serve with pasta. I must admit to using shelled walnuts but I am posting this traditional recipe as written. I am not a fan of walnuts, but DH and the others loved it. This is enough to dress 350gr of pasta (12oz or 3/4 pound)"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Shell the walnuts and toast the kernels in the oven (watch they do not burn), then remove the skins ( I use a clean tea towel and rub the skins off). Chop walnuts, pine nuts and garlic finely (or place in a blender or food processor).
Step 2
Melt the butter in a pan, and add the chopped nut mixture and cook on a medium heat until golden.
Step 3
Season with salt and pepper, remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese & pour over the cream and mix really well.
Step 4
This is ready to serve over cooked pasta.
