  1. HASTA LA PASTA

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.

  2. FRY PARTY

    Place the chopped walnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion, the grated garlic, and the NOMU rub until soft and translucent, 4-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. Spinach PLEASE

    Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the rinsed Spinach until slightly wilted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and season.

  4. BLISTERED, BABY

    Place a clean pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the baby tomatoes until blistered and charred, 3-4 minutes. In the final minute, add a sweetener and season. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  5. GLORIOUS GREEN SAUCE

    To a blender, add the Onion mixture, ¾ of the toasted walnuts, the Guacamole, the sautéed spinach, and the crème fraîche. Pulse until smooth. Season and gradually loosen with milk (optional) or water in 10ml increments until desired consistency. Toss the cooked pasta through the sauce.

  6. GREEN MEANS GO!

    Pile up a helping of the glorious green pasta. Top with the blistered baby tomatoes and sprinkle over the grated hard cheese. Drizzle over the balsamic reduction and garnish with the remaining chopped walnuts. Dig in, Chef!
