Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cloves garlic -- peeled
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup walnuts -- finely chopped
coarse salt to taste
1 pound vermicelli or spaghetti
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil
freshly ground pepper -- to taste
1/4 cup freshly grated perocino romano

In a large skillet over medium low heat, cook the garlic in olive oil
until golden. Remove garlic from the pan. Add the walnuts and cook,
stirring until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and the
pasta. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vermicelli is al dente,
tender yet firm to the bite.

Drain the vermicelli, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. In a
large serving bowl, toss the vermicelli with the nuts and just enough
cooking water to keep it moist. Add the parsley, if using, and
sprinkle generously with pepper.

Add cheese and toss again. Serve immediately.

Yield: 4 servings
