Italian Inspired Sun-dried Tomato Walnut Pasta

Did you know October is the National Pasta Month? What a great month to just eat all the pasta possible! Toward the beginning of the month, I had the pleasure of being in Italy and eating pasta, Italian-style. Going to Italy (for the first time ever) was such an incredible learning and eating experience.

One thing I learned about pasta: Italians don’t over-sauce their pasta. They add just enough. Another wonderful thing that learned was that pasta in Italy wasn’t super complicated— it was simple and delicious. The portions weren’t huge but the flavors were so fresh and tasty.

I like to think that I took those ideals and applied them here. This sauce is SO easy and comes together in maybe ten minutes. I also fell in love with sun-dried tomatoes because of their deep delicious flavor. This recipe has a nice added nuttiness from the walnuts. I love it!

I hope you give this pasta a try—it’s a winner of a recipe!
