Tallarin Verde
- 16 oz. thin spaghetti
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1/4 lb. cream cheese (4 oz.), cut into cubes
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tbsp. chopped onion
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups grilled chicken or steak, cut in strips (optional)
- 1. Bring two quarts of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until done to your liking. Drain the spaghetti.
- 2. While the pasta is cooking, add the remaining ingredients (except the Parmesan and meat) to a food processor or blender, and blend until smooth.
- 3. Warm the sauce over low heat in a saucepan for a few minutes, or in a microwave. If using chicken or steak, either cook them fresh, or warm the leftovers in a microwave.
- 4. Toss the sauce with the pasta (and optional sliced meat) in a large serving bowl. Sprinkle Parmesan on each serving.
