Walnut sauce

Step 1

Put the bread in a bowl and cover with the milk. When it is completely wet, drain and squeeze it in your hands.

Step 2

Put the drained bread in the blender along with the walnuts, the garlic, the leaves of marjoram, the parmesan cheese and 2 pinches of salt. Blend for a couple of minutes until the walnuts are well crumbled and it turns smooth.

Step 3

Add 5 tablespoons of olive oil and lukewarm water as needed to obtain a thick creamy sauce.

Step 4

When it’s time to season the pasta (any kind of pasta: dry pasta, handmade pasta, ravioli or pansotti - of course) remember before seasoning to water down the sauce with 4-5 tablespoons of the hot water where the pasta is boiling and remember always, always, to save a cup of boiling water to add to the past just in case it remains too dry after seasoning.
