Walnuts combine really well with this creamy sauce, giving it a crisp and crunchy texture. To sauté the pancetta and onion, you’ve got to use Bertolli with Butter! Its creaminess blends perfectly in the rich cheesy sauce. And if you prefer a slightly stronger flavour, just swap Dolcelatte for Gorgonzola. This is one dish you’ll go nuts for.

Ingredients

400 g tagliatelle - fresh or dried
salt
40 g Bertolli with Butter
150 g pancetta, finely chopped
1 large red onion, finely sliced
150 g dolcelatte cheese, roughly chopped
150 ml single cream
100 g walnuts, roughly chopped
freshly ground black pepper, to serve

Method

Place a large saucepan of salted water on the heat, bring to the boil and cook the tagliatelle until “al dente.”
Meanwhile, melt Bertolli with Butter in a large frying pan, add pancetta and saute’ for 2 – 3 minutes on a high to medium heat until almost crispy. Add onion and sweat for a couple of minutes until the onion has softened. Lower the heat, add Dolcelatte and stir until the cheese begins to melt, stir in the cream.
Drain the pasta, add to the sauce, toss well with a little of the cooking water and stir in half of the walnuts. Remove from the heat and serve immediately with the remaining walnuts and a sprinkling of black pepper.
