2 tablespoons Butter
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1¼ cup Shelled walnuts
Finely chopped

½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Plus extra for sprinkling
⅓ cup Basil leaves, minced
⅓ cup Parsley leaves, minced
3 tablespoons Heavy cream
½ teaspoon Salt plus extra
For cooking water

Directions

1. Heat butter in large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it begins to brown, 4-5 min. Add oil and walnuts; cook, stirring frequently, until walnuts are fragrant and begin to brown, 3-4 min.

Add garlic and cook until softened, about 1 min more. Remove skillet from heat; stir in cheese, basil, parsley, cream, salt and pepper.

2. Meanwhile, cook linguine in large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup cooking water.

3. Toss reserved sauce and pasta together, adding just enough cooking water to moisten the dish. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese.
