Creamy pennette with walnuts recipe
This is very quick and so easy - it's a no-cook sauce. I love its simple flavours, but it can be dressed up a little more by adding some lovely smoked chicken.
Ingredients
- 350 g pennette
- 100 g soft goats cheese
- 5 tbsp mascarpone
- 120 g walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
- 1 pinch of nutmeg
- 50 g rocket, washed and trimmed
- 4 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper

- Add the soft goats cheese and mascarpone to the pasta and stir, adding a little of the reserved liquid as required.
- Sprinkle over the walnuts and grate a little nutmeg over the top. Add the rocket and Parmesan and carefully mix. Season to taste and serve immediately.
