White Pesto Pasta

Ingredients for White Pesto Pasta

• 80g walnuts

• Sal kosher

• 80g de ricotta fresca

• Zest of 1 lemon

• 1 diente de ajo, finamente rallado

• 2 teaspoons finely chopped oregano

• 60g Parmesan, finely grated, plus more for serving

• 60ml de aceite de oliva virgen extra

• Pimienta negra recién molida

• 450g tube- or rod-shaped pasta (such as rigatoni or spaghetti)

Preheat oven to 177°C. Toast walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 6–8 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil.

Vigorously mix walnuts, ricotta, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, and 60g Parmesan in a large bowl until well combined. Add oil 1 tablespoon or so at a time, stirring well after each addition, until all the oil is incorporated. Season pesto with salt and pepper.

Cook pasta in pot of boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Scoop 240ml pasta cooking liquid into bowl with pesto and stir gently to combine (it’s okay if some of the pesto is still in small clumps). Using a spider, tongs, or slotted spoon, transfer pasta directly to bowl with pesto. Mix energetically until pesto thickens enough to lightly coat pasta, about 2 minutes; the pasta should have sauce clinging to it but there should also be some extra sauce that collects in bottom of bowl.

Divide pasta among bowls and serve with more Parmesan alongside for sprinkling over.
