Cooking Tips

• Be careful not to overcook the pasta, as it will continue to cook slightly when added to the skillet.
• Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the skillet enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of anchovies used.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the pasta in a skillet with a splash of water or olive oil to prevent it from drying out.
• Serve the pasta warm, either as a main dish or as a side to grilled chicken or fish.
