Ingredients
- 12 ounces (3/4 box) whole-wheat fettucine
- 2/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts, 2 tablespoons reserved for garnish
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1-ounce grated Parmesan (about 3/4 cup)
- 2 cups arugula leaves, gently packed
Directions
Cook the pasta al dente according to package directions, then drain in a colander.
Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, stirring frequently, 3 to 5 minutes.
In the pot the pasta was cooked in, heat the olive oil over low heat, add the garlic stirring until soft and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes (be careful not to burn it). Return the pasta to the pot, add the broth, all but 2 tablespoons of the walnuts, the parsley, salt and pepper and toss to combine, cooking over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup Parmesan and toss to combine. Arrange 1/2 cup of arugula leaves on each of 4 serving plates. Top each with about 2 cups of pasta. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, the reserved walnuts and more parsley. Serve hot.

This is really bland. It's like I'm eating an English food. Blah! I'm sorry, Ellie. I followed the recipe to a T and even used garlic purée OR i'm just not a fan of walnuts however, my finicky 11-yr old daughter loved it but she asked me to not put walnuts next time.

This is easy, delicious, colorful and full of flavor. I would definitely serve this to company--even guests who aren't conscious about healthy eating. At home, we do this almost like a one dish meal and everyone's happy.

Really nice recipe. It is nice to find a different use for pasta and the walnuts provide great texture. I added some pan-seared bay scallops for protein and a little fresh lemon juice.
