Ingredients:
Preparation:
First, prep your ingredients by chopping your walnuts in a food processor until it's a light crumble. Chop up some Italian parsley and garlic then set it aside. Finish with grating some fresh parmesan cheese in a bowl for later.
In a large pan, sauté chicken thighs with olive oil. Next, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook your protein pasta until al dente.
Once your chicken is done cooking, remove it and add in some olive oil, your minced walnuts, parsley, and garlic. Give that a minute or two to cook and then add a splash of pasta water. Lastly, add your noodles and toss with the sauce.
Plate your pasta with the chicken, and top with parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
