Steps:

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Add the fettuccine, and cook until the pasta is al dente, 6 to 8 minutes.
• When the pasta is cooked, rinse it in cold water, drain well, and reserve.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large nonstick saute pan.
• Add the garlic cloves and saute them very gently, turning often for 4 minutes, until light golden brown and softened.
• Remove the garlic cloves from the pan, and reserve.
• Add the drained pasta to the pan, and saute over medium heat for 2 minutes, until warmed through.
• Add the browned garlic cloves, Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon pepper, and seasoning salt, and toss the pasta well to combine.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in salted, boiling water according to pack instructions.
• Put the parsley, hazelnuts, Parmesan and lemon zest and juice into a food processor and whizz to a paste. With the motor still running, gradually drizzle in the olive oil. Season, if you like, with salt and pepper.
• Drain pasta, return to pan and stir in pesto. Divide pasta between serving bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 3-5 mins until lightly golden to bring out their intense nutty flavour. Remove from the heat and tip into a blender.
• Warm the milk, sage leaves and garlic in a small pan over a low heat until the milk is steaming - the sage will lightly cook in the milk and the garlic will start to soften. Cooking the sage like this removes the bitterness but preserves the flavour. Pour the infused milk along with the sage and garlic over the walnuts and leave to stand for 1 min.
• Stir the fettuccine into the pan of boiling water and cook for around 10 mins, or until al dente. Grate in the cheese and add the oil and parsley to the blender along with a generous pinch each of salt and pepper, then blitz until you have a chunky pesto. Transfer the sauce to a large pan and keep warm over a low heat, stirring so it doesn't burn. Transfer the fettuccine directly from its cooking water into the sauce using tongs, then toss well, adding a couple of ladlefuls of the water to loosen if needed. Divide between bowls and grate over more parmesan and drizzle with oil.
