Corzetti Pasta with Brown Butter Walnut Sauce


GATHER THE GOODS


2 sticks butter

3 garlic cloves, grated

1 cup walnuts, chopped

zest and juice of 1 lemon

1 pound Corzetti Pasta

kosher salt

parmesan cheese for grating



MAKE IT


  1. Make your brown butter sauce by adding 2 sticks of butter to a medium saute panand begin to melt over medium heat.

  2. Once completely melted and bubbly add grated garlic and walnuts and cook over medium low heat until the butter begins to brown

  3. Add half of the lemon juice, and lemon zest along with salt and taste for seasoning. It may need more lemon… it may not. Depends on your palate!

  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil an cook the corzetti until al dente. Since they are so thin and fragile it is best to undercook them in my opinion! And they will cook fairly fast.

  5. You can strain them in a colander or use a large slotted spoon and transfer them quickly into the sauce. This could be done right in the same bowl you will serve them in.

  6. Grate LOTS of cheese on top and serve right away!
