A quick, easy and delicious meatless main course. It's perfect with a salad of baby lettuces or field greens, as the sharper taste of those greens will complement this pasta dish. I wanted to include some tips that I use. For the bread crumbs, I toast 2 slices of wheat bread, and after they've cooled, I pulse them in my food processor until they have been reduced to medium sized crumbs. I then measure out the 1/2 cup needed. I also use the food processor to chop the walnuts. Also, if you wish to start out using less red pepper flakes, it's perfectly fine to do so, and add more after wards if you find it's not spicy enough.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup toasted bread crumbs
- 1 cup roughly chopped walnuts
- 1/2 tbsp hot red pepper flakes
- 1 pound linguine
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped Italian parsley
- 1/2 cup freshly grated caciocavallo cheese or pecorino romano
Directions
- Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tbsp kosher salt to it.
- In a 16â³ frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat till smoking. Add the garlic and cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the bread crumbs, the walnuts, and pepper flakes and cook until lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until 1 minute shy of al dente. Just before draining the pasta, remove 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water and add to the pan with the walnut mixture and stir. Drain the pasta in a colander and pour the pasta into the pan with the walnut mixture.
- Place the pan over medium heat and continue cooking the pasta with the walnut mixture until the pasta is lightly dressed, about
- 1 minute. Add the parsley and grated cheese, stir through, pour into a large bowl, and serve immediately
