    How to Make Olive-Walnut Pasta

    1. Cook Pasta

    Bring a large pot of water seasoned with kosher salt to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Save about a cup of the pasta water before draining.

    2. Toast Walnuts

    Heat extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven. Add the walnuts and toast for 3 to 5 minutes, then stir in the torn olives.

    3. Add Garlic and Seasonings

    Grate the garlic clove directly into the walnut and olive mixture. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

    4. Combine Pasta with Walnut-Olive Mixture

    Add the drained pasta to the mixture in the Dutch oven. Pour in a quarter cup of reserved pasta water and toss. Add more pasta water if needed. Finish with lemon zest and juice.
