I had nuts in pasta last week and now it would seem I'm adding them to pasta every time I make it! I would say that if you haven't boarded that train yet then you need to! It's such a great way to get added protein to your meals without having to cook one! Ingredients:
1/2 box curly pasta
3 to 4 tbsp marscapone cheese (which did you know has less calories and fat than butter?!)
3 pieces of bacon
1/2 c walnuts
Salt and pepper to taste
Parsley for garnish
Get a pot of water to a rapid boil and add pasta. While that's cooking, cook the bacon and set aside to cool. Arrange nuts on baking sheet and toast at 250 for a few minutes. Nuts can burn quickly so set a timer and keep your eye on them! Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add back to pot. Add marscapone cheese stirring until well mixed. Crumble bacon into pasta and crush the nuts before adding. Mix once more then plate. Top with salt, pepper and parsley.
