Noodles In Nut Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Put a large saucepan of water on to boil, and toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan until they begin to make a nutty aroma. Put the bread in a bowl and cover with the milk. Put most of the toasted walnuts (reserving about 1 ounce for garnish) into a blender along with the garlic, bread soaked in milk, and Parmesan. Blend until it turns smooth and creamy, then pour in the oil and season well with salt and pepper before blending again.
• Pour into a bowl, and set aside.
• Add pasta to boiling water with salt and cook for the required amount of time. When pasta is al dente, reserve a cup of the pasta cooking liquid and then drain the pasta, but put it in to a large bowl while it's still dripping slightly with water. Sprinkle a little olive oil over the pasta to prevent it sticking together, and then add the walnut sauce, mixing it into the pasta (splash in a little pasta cooking liquid to make the sauce less thick if needed).
• Roughly chop the remaining walnuts and toss them over the top along with some more Parmesan and the chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until done. Drain.
• Meanwhile, combine oil and onions in a small skillet. Saute over low heat until tender. Add ginger; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in peanut butter, soy sauce, water, vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
• Toss noodles with sauce, and serve.

Steps:

• Set the pasta water to cook with a copious amount of salt.
• Soak the raisins in the stock. Microwave them on high for 1 minute, if desired. Set aside.
• Put the oil, garlic and chili's into an 8-inch skillet with a generous pinch of salt, (and black pepper, if required).
• Set the heat to medium or medium-high, sizzle, without stirring, until the garlic becomes colored a faint gold.
• Add the raisins with their liquid, the mixture will bubble abruptly.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the wine.
• Drain the pasta, reserving a little water, if desired.
• Transfer to a tossing bowl and pour in the sauce, add parsley if desired. Toss well. Coat each with the sauce.
• The raisins will likely gather in the basin, for presentation purposes, it is wise, to transfer the hot, cooked pasta to a serving dish.
