Ingredients
- 1 pound whole wheat penne
- 1 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, sliced
- 2/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
- 3/4 cup sliced fresh sage leaves
- 1/2 pound Le Gruyère cheese, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Method
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add penne and cook until al dente, 12 to 15 minutes.
Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water separately.
Return pasta to the pot.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add garlic and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown around the edges, about 3 minutes.
Toss penne with garlic and oil mixture, walnuts and sage.
Place pot over medium-low heat and stir in Gruyère and reserved cooking water.
Cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted and you have a creamy sauce, 4 to 5 minutes.
Transfer pasta to a bowl or platter and sprinkle with pepper.
